Last day of the long weekend. I love long weekends. You can really get things done and still have time to relax and enjoy before the work week starts again. This time my son and I are the lucky ones. The Husband had to work today. We had a busy weekend cleaning up the leaves-we kind of cheat a little. We use the mower to help pick up the leaves. Makes quick work out of a chore that would take a good chunk of time to accomplish. Yay for the John Deere lawn mower. The clucks got to get out and forage in the yard. They found all sorts of fat juicy worms and bugs. While they were out in the yard I cleaned out the coop. Raked the leaves from the outer run area as well. Our son chopped up some kindling for the wood stove.We did all of the other mundane tasks like washing dishes and doing laundry etc as well. All and all a very productive weekend. Just in time to get things in order for cooking a big Thanksgiving feast. Gathering ideas for some new dishes to try, as well as our tried and true old favorites. 
Doesn't it feel great to get things done around the house?? We've been blessed with above-average temp's this past weekend as well as today making it much easier to work outside. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYes it sure does!!! I just love it when we accomplish a bunch of stuff. Temps aren't bad but I fear our time is running out on the agreeable temps. Have a great week.
DeleteI know how great that must feel to get all that done. Now you can focus on FOOD : )
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you had time to chat with your son! We don't have trees around our place so no leaf raking for us. We go to my moms and jump in hers!! Much more fun that way! They get to deal with the mess!! hehe!
ReplyDeleteI've gotta get ready for all the cooking for Thanksgiving too! Yikes it's right around the corner!
Yes it is right around the corner!!! I couldn't believe how close the Thanksgiving holiday was when got out the calendar and looked at it. Geeze this year has flown by. Best of luck on your feast prepping.
