The eagles were out and about again yesterday morning. The kids were even flying and later up in this same tree. They were flying over our place looking for their next meal. I'm waiting to clean my coop until this week - shotgun week starts. I'm going to hope the eagles stay away while the hens are in the run, but I'll have to muck it quickly and put them back in.
Sunday was a day of errands and delivering extra food, and what not. I talked Hubby into cutting wood for a good hour before it turned dark. Family borrowed the truck for 3 days and we didn't get it back until late Sunday. Too late to haul our cut wood to the porch or barn, and now it's raining. Hubby's back is sore from lifting furniture up onto sliders, so we cut our time short out at the barn rubble pile (but have enough wood to last a long, long time).
I got Youngest with the hide-the-rat the other day. She tried to get me by putting it under a kitchen towel. Didn't work, ha ha!
We have enough food to last a few days. The bonus of hosting and having 2 meals this year. The house is clean too, so I think I'll do some decorating with Youngest. She's home today. School is out, but back tomorrow. However, I'm told some are already closing for tomorrow due to weather. It's raining right now, but turning to snow later.
I will have to do constant checking of the property this week. I've had to run off hunters (shotgun week) in the past. Some have no respect for other people's property, so I'll most likely put Jesse on a leash this week too.
We left our porch furniture out until the holiday meal, so I'll be bringing in one chair at a time, drying it by the woodstove, and putting them in storage. What a mess this weather is, but I think being snowed in is a fun reason to do some Christmas decorating.

Tidbits
I got more of these crocheted.
Embroidered a kitchen towel for one kiddo for Christmas.
The bald eagles were out and about again. The are out and about this morning too.
Thanksgiving meals are behind us now. Time to get back to cleaning (utility room, bedroom), and get back to organizing the garage. I'll be back to share a fruit salad recipe. Not sure what Sunday will bring, as we are worn out from get-togethers, cleaning and cooking. Family borrowed our truck to move, so it'll be an as-we-go day. If the truck is returned, we may just get more wood cut.
