I don't think I would have enjoyed being startled by that snake either Ginger! I don't mind snakes, at a distance that is lol. Yes, I've got lots of fall chores to get done around here, leave raking (use the lawnmower for that), clean and cover the a/c unit, drain the rain barrel, etc, etc.

I've never made my jerky using a dehydrator Rava, always use the wood pellet grill. Do you make your own marinade or buy them. I always use the ones you can get at Cabella's.

Tell Mr J good luck from me Jude. Our hunting season doesn't start for another month for rifle, bow season started September 1st.

Nasty stuff that anhydrous ammonia dill, and to think we used to use it for fertilizer when we were seeding. Thankfully we've went back to granular nitrogen. I got a chuckle on you play on words with the skin comment lol.

Very foggy here this morning so I'll wait till it lifts before heading to the farm to empty the rest of the things from the camper and give it a good cleaning.

I don't mind snakes but eye level is another story! What I hate are spiders, except Tarantulas. I know all things have a purpose but jumping spiders. Yyyyuuuukkkk

It's definitely fall here! We had a nice rain. I hope it helped the fire a little. Fingers crossed!

Busy day here! Waves to all my pals. I'll take another day

[Lavande]

Are you ready for this when collecting eggs in your hen house????
Just thought I’d jump in your conversation Lol

Hi Mul, I bet ya'll are getting rain. It's so smokey this morning, I can't see the lights below us. We have a fire burning in the mountains that's now over 14,000 acres. When my boys were young, it was our back yard, basically. Makes my heart hurt to know all of it will be gone the next time we go. My middle son and gson hiked in that area just the week before it started. They had a wonderful time and are so glad they made the trek before it started.!

Yup, we've gotten a decent amount of rain over the last few days, and most of it has come at night and early morning too, so could enjoy some beautiful coolish mix of sun and cloud afternoons as well!
That's such a shame that you are losing you're "back yard" so to speak. I always think how devastated I would be if one of my favorite nature areas burned to simthereens. Tragic.

[Jude58]

Lavande, that snake picture sure woke me up this morning! Yikes! Did you ever get the eggs out?

Mul, can you send some of that rain my way?. We haven't had any measurable rain in a couple of weeks and we aren't supposed to get any until Tuesday.

Cowboy, rifle season doesn't start here until November and bow started October 1st. Mr. J went out again yesterday but didn't see anything. Today is our wedding anniversary so I won't let him go play in the woods. We will probably go out somewhere and have a nice lunch or dinner.

Hi dill, Rava and Ginger!

Lav, all I can say is YIKES! How did you gather those eggs?

Cowboy, that "jump out of my skin" comment I made about Ginger's snake story was not intended as a pun but I too saw it after I wrote it. I really didn't expect anyone would pick up on it. Sharp eye!

Rava, that's really great that you are going to leave that gift of the jerky for your family.

Happy Anniversary, Jude! October is a beautiful time of year for a wedding.

Ginger, I'm not a fan of snakes but they usually keep a distance so we get along. I don't believe there are any poisonous snakes in our area so nothing to fear from them.

Mul, glad you got a decent rain. We sure could use the same.

I got the results for my Echo and as far as I could tell there was no change since my last test two years ago. I haven't had the doctor's interpretation yet but I'm not concerned at this point.

Not today.

[abcowboy]

Happy Anniversary to you and Mr J Jude! I didn't realize he was a bow hunter as well as rifle.

I think I'd leave those eggs just where they are Lav until the snake moseyed along!

Glad you got some rain Mulburry, we could sure use some as well but after all the farmers are finished with harvest.

That's good news on the Echo dill, staying healthy is important especially as we get older.

Waves to Ginger and Rava, and hope to see Slo check in again one day.

[Ginger999]

Lav, what kind of snake was that? Do they swallow the eggs whole? Do you have one of those grabbers they use to pickup garbage? We have a guy in our place in AZ that's called for rattlesnake removal. Here he comes in his golf cart with a 5 gallon bucket and a grabber. He relocates them out back in the desert.

Mul, I'm glad you're getting the much needed rain and it's coming at a time that let's you enjoy the fall afternoons. That's a win/win.

Happy anniversary, Jude. Enjoy your lunch out.

Dill, I'm glad your echo appears normal. Hopefully, the doc agrees. When is that appointment?

ABC, how does it feel to be home? Are you ready to hit the honey do's?

This is a good day to have a good day! I'll take another
