Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[baymule]

Coffee is ready! I’ll be outside as much as possible today. Buford did great with the ewes and lambs yesterday. He was out with them, Sentry and Sheba, all day. This puppy is showing so much intelligence. Also need to get Reina all brushed out and pretty for her 3 month picture. She is steadily gaining weight and looking so much better already.

And the doctor said get some rest…..does he mean STAY IN THE HOUSE? Training a puppy and brushing a horse IS rest!

Sounds restful to me!

Dogs are running and playing. The wind has a bite to it so I came back inside for awhile.

Sounds restful to me!

good exercise is very good for relieving stress.

I pretty much did nothing yesterday. It was cold, windy and I didn’t need to be out in it. So I stayed in and blew my nose. LOL

I let Sheba and Sentry train Buford, I could look out the window and make sure there was no sheep running from a puppy wanting to play. Buford was a good boy all day. Sheba helped him run some energy off, she loves having a playmate.

Buford sat so good yesterday for his food.

Blue skies and temp is on its way to mid 40s today. Coffee is good, trying to dig into the book "One Year After", sequel to "One Second After", a book we discussed in here years ago.

We are HOME. Finally HOME here in Washington state.

I cried on Wednesday nite when we returned to Medford OR. The deer have destroyed my plantings. The house was cold and empty. I forgot to bring a reading light, my ear plugs and book. I was stuck in sadness and then had a horrible nite trying to sleep.

On Thursday, hubs woke up sick sick sick. He stayed in bed (air bed that leaks) until 4. So I ran errands, spent $200 buying things at the feed store for chickens etc (no sales tax in OR), and some clearance stuff at Wallys. Came home and started cleaning room by room. Mind you, the house is empty, but after 6 months on the real estate market it had gotten dusty and buggy.

Friday we got up early, he packed the car, I cleaned three of the four bathrooms for the final time, wiped down countertops, etc. Then he vacuumed until I told him WE HAVE TO LEAVE. Never got all the floors mopped. Raced to the Title company, signed the papers for the sale, got my McD's large black coffee and homeward bound we went. The house closed escrow in the afternoon, so I cancelled the house insurance.

What I will miss: the views and the golfers and the kitchen.
What I won't miss: the smoke, the heat, the cost of water and the DAMN DEER. There were 14 of them waiting right outside our yard on Thursday nite. Deer poop all over the back yard. GRRRRRR

We are home. Chickens, huge garden, only 1 deer so far, a coyote and a fenced 2.6 acres for dogs to run. Fruit trees. And now money to pay off the mortgage and still have leftover to add a BBQ area, build a carport, and cover the deck with some roofing.

HOME, for as long as I can be healthy and happy here.
