I picked up more dandelion greens on my trip to town delivering meals to Dad. With my dehydrator due to arrive any day now, I plan to dehydrate some for Jesse. The one dog remaining from the original pack of ours.
He has tumors, and some were removed, but are growing back. They are "fatty" tumors, but with that in mind, I'm drying dandelion, to sprinkle over his food (1 tsp. per every 20 lbs. of weight).
His dog treats are made with kale, so he's getting more vitamins and nutrients that way as well.
Yesterday, I made it to the porch for a bit. Most the day was spent indoors due to the farmer spraying (again).
I managed to crochet myself a wool cowl. It's a short one for outdoor work, and I also finished a longer one for keeping warm this winter. I am told we'll have a mild winter, but I am prepared either way. I made my cowls using bulk wool yarn, and a HDC stitch, in back loops only.
I've written 10,000 of the 50,000 word count for November's National Novel Writing Month. I'm getting there much quicker than in past years.
We were to go camping this weekend (again), but one daughter has homecoming, and needs a ride there and back, and invited a friend to stay the night. I'm the last to know these things evidently. Sigh....
Hubby wants to take the camper over for one night (trying to make up for saying yes to our daughter and not telling me), but it's not worth it for one night. That's too much work with a pop up, and way too cold for a tent. It is already very windy today, and it will dip down to the 30's this Saturday and Sunday night. Honestly, that is too cold, even with a heater in the camper.
It's just that I am used to having balance with marriage and kids, and the kids are trumping my "marriage time" this fall. If I don't have balance, I become irritable and down right scary. My entire weekend last weekend was filled with screaming girls, so another weekend with girls over was not what I wanted to hear.
I'll get over it (again), and keep myself busy with other things. Maybe, with my sour attitude, I should write a few "thankful" moments today?
Today I am thankful for:
~ being one day ahead on my word count
~ not having to cook dinner tonight
~ for honey
~ for fresh ginger
~ hot water
~ Son finally getting his box of winter clothing
~ as always, organic coffee
~ God's Word
~ pencil and paper
~ stashed yarn
~ the sale of one slouchy hat (that's money that goes into my "island" fund)

Cowl looks great, just right length so it won't dangle in your way while your working.
Two weekends of screaming girls!!! yes, I would be grateful for organic coffee too. My boys have just taken up guitar and drums so I'm anticipating many loud weekends in the future!
Good luck with your writing.
My sister and daughter participate in that too.
Temps are dropping here tonight too. Good night for cuddling up with a good movie or book.
I pray the girls take it easy on you this weekend. Have you ever explained the "marriage time" to them? If they knew, it might make a difference in the demands they put on you and/or hubby.
Have a great weekend.
God bless.
