The first snow.

Still in the 30's, so not so bad for chores. 

Cooper is going to have to go, he hasn't been able to flog me again, but he has tried. I talk with an expert (Grandma Helen) and it isn't something I can break him of, so now to get the guts up to grab him, and get him ready for dinner. 

Queen Anne's Lace in November.

Cooper.

Cooper flogged me the other morning when I went out to feed and water them. He had never done this before, so I was so glad it was me and not one of the kids.  I have been closing him in the run when I feed and water them so there have been no further opportunities to see if he would do it again.

I finished the mystery socks this weekend...

November walk.

The leaves have been falling and curling up for winter. I have tried to add a lot of the leaves to the garden to help mulch for the winter, however, if you looked out over our yard right now, you would never know it. 

More knitting to fit in today on mystery sock #2. I was hoping to have 2 socks completed by this evening, I am no where close and tomorrow we are heading to Lawrence, so I know I will not finish tomorrow. Maybe by Sunday evening??

everytime..

Every time I think I have a few minutes to post, I end up with at least one child helping me.  So another day goes by. 

Interrupted thoughts.

This morning while knitting a gauge swatch for a pair of socks, listening to Luke practice his memory verse, hearing more requests for breakfast (breakfast was served an hour ago), I remembered why I wanted to start fresh eggs and lavender. It is for some of my interrupted thoughts to possibly find completion, to remind myself of the first day I drank a cup of coffee, with only some hot chocolate (that would be today) and other trivial topics that would matter to only me. So I am back, sometimes with photos, some days without, because, well, I don't have too and there isn't always enough time for that. :)

Taking a break.

Well, initially, I thought I could keep up with two blogs. I think I do have enough photos to keep them up, just not enough time. Every day I think of things I wanted to get recorded and it just hasn't happened. And, school starts next week, the garden is in full swing, not to mention Christmas gifts to begin working on... so I am going to do my best to keep up with Life on chestnut hill, and maybe I will still be back to this one later on. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and see what has been happening, please check up on us at Life on Chestnut Hill when you have a chance.
