Feeling like fall

I'm so excited to finally be getting some fall weather! The 80's were getting old. It's my favorite season. I think it's a lot of people's favorite season. I took Delight for a couple walks outside today. It always calms her down. She's had some tummy trouble lately and has been very fussy in the afternoon and evening. Despite that, she's been sleeping great at night. Last night she slept for 6 hours, nursed at 3am, then slept 6 more hours! I couldn't believe it! I felt so good and energized today. Now to just get her to take some good naps during the day. I think she's going through a growth spurt right now. She wants to eat about every 2 hours instead of her normal 3 hours.



This picture was taken Monday. Sam had the day off for Columbus Day. He probably thinks I'm making stuff up when I say she's been fussy during the day because she was as good as gold all day. She was starting to get sleepy and I sat her on the recliner. She fussed a little and the next thing I know Sam comes and tells me she fell asleep. She slept for 2 1/2 hours sitting up in the chair! She has never done that. I cleaned the house, vacuumed and everything and she slept right through it. It was great.


Check out these eggs. We have 2 bantam chickens and 3 laying hens. We started off with 16 chickens and are now down to 5. There's a fox or something killing them during the day. They're free range during the day, we need to get a fence up. Any way, I couldn't believe the size difference in these eggs. the brown one is a little bigger than normal and the banty egg is a little smaller.

Sam and I went to see the movie Fire Proof, Friday night. It was excellent. Just thought I'd put my movie recommendation out there for anyone who was thinking about seeing it.
