Don't let yesterday's failures ruin the beauty of today.  Each day has its promise of love, joy and forgiveness.

     Darel had a pleasant day yesterday with lunch at the church and a few hours sitting in the field hoping a deer would come out.

     I got the last few hoses up.  I had believed the forecast and was just waiting for the warm temperature.  I also had waited until frost killed some of the weeds and grass making them easier to pull up.  Another hose and real couldn't go in until the wood was in.

     The garage is ready for the first ton of pellets.  A few days earlier than I though we would be getting them.  I am so thankful for the pellet stove, Darel needs a very warm room to be comfortable.  As warm as this month has been we've run the stove a lot.  It is easy to start if he gets chilly.

     Last night I culled some old hens and moved the rest in with the pullets.  They are all set up for winter now.  The old hens will go in the compost pile.  i have saved some planters to empty over them.  Today I'll pull the tomato vines and put them in the compost pile.  All this rain has made the garden to wet to til for garlic.  So the garlic is going to get planted where I pull the tomatoes out.  Extra work and not what i would choose to do but sometimes weather dictates how things get done.  We needed the rain and we have blessed with warm weather for November.

     Have a good day, Sally
