I literally have nothing to blog today. I was so busy yesterday though, and we got one car picked up and paid for (this guy repairs from his home and does an awesome job on "big" jobs).
However, there is no room in his driveway to tow my car over for the new engine. Story of my life. I'm told Monday or Tuesday we can bring it over.
In the meantime, our 21 year-old is happy now that she has her "own" car now. We are all tickled pink that our 18 year-old is back home. Her job is keeping her busy and she is doing very well at the hair salon. Her dog is so happy too, that we sent her flowers to her work and asked that the card read, "Thank you for coming back home Mommy," signed Romeo.
Romeo was so excited that he was zooming from room to room and could not sleep the first night she was here.
Anyway, we had a very long but productive day I guess. First, even though my husband is working nights, we drove an hour to a city to do firearms shopping (just being prepared for whatever happens after election, you just never know in this messed up world we now live in). We've already had our mailbox (with a USA flag on it) bashed in and our USA flag on our house beat down so bad, the flag holder screws were ripped out. A flag was set on fire in a close town, that was on their house and could have set the house on fire.
So, while we were shopping, I could not believe all the stores that were all in this city. I mean they have it all. Like a Hobby Lobby with a JoAnn's, Lowe's, Menards, Wal-mart, Meijer....like they were super busy and I thought, "man this is the place to get everything you need in one trip." Too bad it's an hour drive.
I convinced my husband to stop at either craft store to look for my yarn and lavender netting. I found neither one. I came home with 10 yards of teal netting though.
After returning, we drove to pick up the last of our daughter's belongings and retired for the night. It's a good thing I did not let the chickens out while we were gone all day as well. I watched an eagle fly right over the house. I haven't seen one around here in a few years. However, I did see a coyote around 4pm last Wednesday. I'm told they will circle around and be back in a few weeks, and to watch for them. This however was a lone coyote.
Did you know that coyotes will increase their day time hunting as the weather gets colder? Probably why I saw it at 4pm.
On a good note, I found out the our 21 year-old is back to working in the store she was hired in this next week. She's been helping out in another city the last two weeks. Oh, and I'm told that her store put in a bid to buy a larger (our old Hobby Lobby that went out of business) store to move to. If they do, I sent them a request to start selling yarn since there is no good source in that town anymore. Crossing my fingers, but you never know.
I haven't been out in the garden lately. I'm waiting for a round of rain to come down, to make digging easier. We'll see if we do get the predicted rain or not come Monday.
