Good Evening, Flowers!
It has been a miserable day in my corner of the world . . . wet and terribly windy.
We had a murder on the deck last night! We've had a possum coming to eat the cat food before I can bring it in for the night. Usually if we rattle the door knob or knock on the window he will take off. Last night he just backed up, opened his mouth like he was hissing, and stood his ground. DH has a "possum club" that he has used before so went outside to do battle. He thought the possum was dead and threw the body out in the yard but when we got up this morning there was no body to be found. I'm wondering if the neighbors watched him washing off the deck at midnight wondering what in the world was going on. When he left to run errands he found the dead possum in the middle of the street a block away.
Amanda and Ian came to visit this afternoon. The wind lessened enough to visit the farm; Ian got up close and personal with the hogs. He wasn't quite sure what to think of them and kept a close eye on his mom just in case. He also had his first tractor ride and thought that was great fun!
I need to go put another load of laundry in the dryer and head for bed. Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend!
Have a relaxing weekend and enjoy your families!
