A Day In the Life

Today, many good things happened:

~Huxley had play time with his grandmother and great-grandmother.

~Hubs and I consumed delicious lattes, courtesy of Battle Cat.

~I checked on the hives and it would appear an extraction is imminent (I'm thinking the weekend after this one, as there's just a wee bit of uncapped honey still present).

~Much laundry was laundered, dried, folded and put away.

~Many emails were attended to (A.J., I'm almost done with your interview questions, from back in freaking April!!!).

~Yogurt made from cows belonging to the ever generous Valerie Graves was cultured (you can find the super easy recipe for homemade yogurt in my book).

~Hubs began building a new wooden rack for the firewood that will keep us roasty toasty in the wood stove all winter long.

~Some of the remaining otherworldly delicious peaches still on hand from my canning class were consumed with heady abandon.

~A chilly 55 degree morning was greeted with hoodies, warm socks and gratitude.

~The telltale smell of autumn made itself manifest.

~Doggie love was felt (that's our German Shepherd, Fly)

~Plans to put the fall garden in tomorrow were made.

~Some Joan Jett was sung along to.

~Multiple baby kisses were bestowed.

~A Weeping Willow Wit was consumed.

~My love of charcuterie was further cemented.

~Thankfulness for a "lady date" on Friday night with my editor and buddy Nicole at Curate was felt (she also festooned me with this exquisite specimen as a belated birthday gift).

~General love of life, family, location and situation was experienced.
