We were able to get so much done yesterday. Thankfully it was a gorgeous day outside. I was able to mow in a sweatshirt and joggers and not even break a sweat. When the weather is in the low 70’s it seems like everyone is in a better mood, even the chickens.

Donny worked on doing a deep clean on the chicken coop getting it ready for winter. It never gets very bad because they are only inside to lay eggs and roost at night. He added more hay than we normally do in the summer to keep them warm since the temperatures will be dropping later this week.

He had to run to the feed store to get more shavings and when he did he accidentally left his phone and wallet on the roof of the car when he was leaving. He saw them fly off when he was on the loop. He had to go back and as he pulled over an 18 wheeler ran over his phone. If you need a good phone case get the ONN brand from Walmart. There was only a tiny crack in the case at the corner. Everything else was fine. He did lose a couple of dollars when his wallet flew off, but managed to find his fishing license so that’s a win.

While he was running his errand I was busy in the shed going through clothes that we had put away. I ended up donating 8 bags. It’s such a good feeling to lighten the load.

I had washed out our Brita pitcher. I couldn’t relate to people saying how long it took for their water to filter. Mine always just filled up so fast. I always wondered just how it did it so fast. That’s when I took the filter out and realized I had never inserted it correctly. So basically, we’ve just been drinking tap water for months.

I also realized that I like the taste of tap water better than the filtered.

Since the cats DO NOT like the mower I decided to give them a little catnip treat. Queso hogged all of the first pile. When Milo got a pile he REALLY like it a lot.

He’s done so well with coming inside at night. Last night Donny was in Milo’s chair. He feels safe in that chair because he’s still afraid of the ceiling fan and a/c. He laid like this watching Donny until Donny realized that he was wanting to go to sleep on his chair.

Happy boy!

One that isn’t so happy is Monkey. She does not like Milo or Queso. All they want to do is be her friend, but this is the face they get when they are in the house.

Now I’m off to do a quick clean on the house so that I can go through my closet and do some purging. We bought some space bags to condense everything. I hope they work.
