Good morning all! Grab some coffee and check on in ☕ the weekend is here woohoo! 🙌 🙌
Life on the farm update post ~ Archie finally calmed down and slept so I'm guessing he got ahold of something and the nasal spray took care of whatever it was. 🙄
Friday morning when I put him in the backyard he was fine for a few minutes but then went to the pool and started barking like crazy. Turns out a baby possum was in the filter basket. After trying everything else we finally just grabbed him out (with gloves). He was so docile and exhausted.
We think maybe mama was up the oak tree that overhangs the pool and he fell off. We put him back by the creek and he was gone 15 minutes later when we went to check on him. I'm hoping he reunited with his family. 🤞🙏 Oh and he totally played possum when we laid him down it was so cute. 🥰 (Once TJ reminded me that's what he was doing I might have been freaking out a bit at first 😂🤣)
Really wishing this is a calm weekend between Mom and all the animals. 😂
What about you guys? Any fun plans?!
I am IN! 🙌🙌🙌 Make it a good one friends! 👍

I'm in & just realized that I haven't checked in since Cookbook Club. The Italian Chicken Soup was very good. It was one of the favorites at Cookbook Club. Another favorite was a marinated skirt steak with feta. I'm keeping it in mind for DH to grill. Today I'm going to the library for their annual craft sale. I really don't need anything but you just never know. Hope everyone has a good weekend! DebDoesWW, It's wonderful that you were able to save the baby possum. It's amazing that he knew to play possum even at that age. Archie was a good boy alerting you. |

DebDoesWW, I'm so glad you and TJ saved the baby possum. Archie was so helpful to alert you. He deserves an extra treat today! We're supposed to get storms this afternoon and then a cool down is expected. I'm making Taco Soup in honor of this probably being the last of our cool weather until the fall. lavonm, your Italian Chicken Soup sounds good. I'm glad your group enjoyed it. Fajita with feta also sounds yummy! Have a good day. Waves to everyone!

DebDoesWW, we'll call you the possum whisperer! lavonm, linda72, *waves* Playing the "water the plants or wait and see if it rains" game! We went to the farmers market today, or tried to. It was last Saturday lol. With Ron home all the time, I got the dates mixed up. But we stopped at a local hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant and picked up some tamales for lunch later.

I'm in - Nice day here in CT -
DebDoesWW - what a great thing you did for the baby - More people should be like that - there is so much
animal abuse going on now a days.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.

I'm IN for SATURDAY!

Up at 6 AM and out the door at 7:30 for a full-day YM drill that ran from 8 AM to 2 PM - but then we had to hang around waiting for 3 YM to get picked up. <sigh>. <roll eyes>.
Yup. I'm still tired. There's a YM staff Zoom on Monday evening and then Tooling Around the Township next Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM. That's starting to look like a fiasco.
Coffee... ☕☕☕... need more coffee...

We didn't get the rain that had been forecast for us. My rain gauge shows about 1/4" and the driveway was already dry when I got up. However, the temps have dropped to the low 50s with a strong north wind. This won't last long but it's nice to have some cooler temps for a few days. DebDoesWW and DotRen, I hope you got some rain without damage out of this latest storm. Have a good day, y'all. |

So I'm guessing I needed to play catch up on sleep. I grabbed my tablet to hop on last night and *poof* the sun was shining. linda72 I'm guessing we got slammed with rain last night since my ditch is full out front. But power is on and no trees are down so life is good 😉 Have a great day friends!! |

I slept in this morning; Pippin was a big help as he kept snuggling. Not too late, but after 7 AM. When I woke up, I really had to think about what day it was since this past week has been a blur.
Today's shaping up to be a Not Much day. That will do.
Coffee... ☕☕☕... need more coffee...
