Pioneer Woman at Heart

Hunter's Moon 10-13-19 if you didn't get the chance to see it.   The funeral for our great great niece is now behind us.  Another emotionally exhausting day yesterday. Woke up today to 37°F but a possible high of 72°F.  I'll be burning calories today.  Oh my, my house, gardens, etc are a hot mess.  My clothesline will be in full swing today too.  I'm behind on everything, but ready to get to work.  I need to keep busy. There has been no answer to getting a visit with Jesse.  I just don't understand a few of our adult kids, but still hopeful. On a different note, my broccoli sprouts grew mold before we could even taste them.  The grow container I have, has too big of holes for these seeds.  If you have a resource for a container with smaller holes I'd love to hear from you.  I think I'll grow soil based microgreens next when I can though.  I placed paper towels in my container, but alas - mold (sad face).

In case you missed the Hunter's Moon Wednesday, here you go.  We woke up to 33°F yesterday morning. Here is the moon this morning.  We woke up to a chilly 28°F.  I got up at 5:30am to take the dogs out and stoke the fire.  Typically, I put Mia on a leash and let Jesse go do his business within sight of our pole light.  However, after I called for him, a group of coyotes moved through, and they were close.  Loud too.  I had to yell "treaty" to get him running inside.  I will be taking him on a leash now when it's dark.  They were across the street somewhere, and the corn is still up there.  My hands were literally shaking, they were that close.  Coyotes were always an issue when we had kid goats.  Thankfully, they are not around our area as much as other areas.  This is the second time we've heard them this year. I only worked outdoors yesterday for about 30 minutes yesterday - too cold.  I can't function pul...
