The happenings of fall time

Well Saturday we finally butched our rooster and had rooster noodle soup. He didn't give much chicken off of his small body but made some good broth. It was good soup and I even added some zucchini to the soup thanks to my moms idea with her stew and it was really good it thickened up the soup a bit more. So the overall experience was interesting. Joseph killed and skinned the rooster while I gutted. It was very unpleasant and I really have no desire to do that again. :) But at least we have had the experience and so if we ever needed to do that again I would know what to do.
Saturday i pulled weeds and started making things look a bit better around here. In July the weeds crept in and I didn't have time to get rid of them. I think I will do some more of that today. It always feels good looking at a weed free area after you've seen it overtaken with weeds. I also washed the porch and the walls of the house and windows. It looked pretty white after that...Now I just got to keep my boys from throwing dirt onto the porch..Any ideas :)
So I have Jury duty from September 1 through October 31st. I have to call every evening and see if I am on the list to do jury duty the next day. That seems so restrictive. I want to take off and go camping this month. I guess we'll see. I have never done it before so it should be interesting to see how it goes.
I am starting my workouts back up again. Starting tomorrow with a friend. We are going to keep tabs on each other and try to work out a couple days of the week together. You got to have some motivation in these things. I am going to try to loose 15 pounds this fall. I hope I reach my goal. :)
We turned out our pigs into the pasture next to the house. it is pretty funny to watch a pig walking around out there. We are just waiting to get all of the cuts sold then we will butcher them. Our goats get out of every pen. We will have to put extra posts up cause they are always getting out. Silly goats. Our buck goat is pretty funny. Whenever he gets near the kids Akina sicks on him and chases him off. She'll do it on her own now. She's a good dog. Gideon got head butted the other day...lets just say it is time to get rid of him too. :)
it is sure a beautiful sight outside today. There is low fog and it is trickling rain. A very Beautiful morning...very fall like..:( I am not quite ready for the warm weather to be gone but up here it will be gone all too soon. This is my get ready for winter month. WE got to chop wood, get the yard ready for snow, get the winter clothes out and finish enclosing our house. And all of those other HONEY DO"S I have for Joseph before he takes off to wherever he's going.
So that is what has been going on around here. I hope school goes well for all of ya and your fall season is good.
