What did it bring???

Happy October!

I feel like I've been gone from my blog forever....there's so many stories just waiting to be told...if only I could find enough time to sit down and share them :D Soon...hopefully, SOON!

Until then...here's what the first day of October brought to my life....

~ Definitely feeding all the animals in the dark....somehow doing the morning chores seems so simple during the summer, and so much work during the Fall & Winter???? I do have it all figured out though...and me and my handy spotlight are quite a good team....(our barn doesn't have a light...and there are always 8 kitties running under my feet...) Today, I just turned on my light...and got everyone fed without stepping on any tails :D

~ The heat was on...and my house felt oh, so cozy!

~ I fed a neighbors dogs on my way to work....their tails were waggingingly happy to see me :D

~ My Miss Susy was gone, but I was blessed with a great Mama to help me in the morning...and my Miss Veronica in the afternoon!

~ Starbucks greeted me after work as I headed out to check the Mama cows

~ Another new little baby joined our cow "family" today...I'm pretty sure it's a heifer...so I'm working on finding a name fitting to being a calf born on the first day of October :D

~ Emails from friends awaited me in my inbox...

~ Dinner was some of my favorite comfort foods...Mac & Cheese, Chicken Nuggets & Green Beans!

~ I actually got to sit down on the sofa for a whole half hour :D

~ I visited with my Mom & Dad on the phone....

~ October marks the beginning of the farmer's market countdown...Whooohoooo...Only 5 more weekends to go :D

And, now finally, I'm getting a chance to post! It's been a GREAT first day of October! So, how was yours...what happened that made your day GREAT?!?!? Most of all....I'll be praying that the whole month of October is filled to overflowing with many, many Sweet blessings!

Mason got a new {green machine}!

I had a GREAT day at school!

Enchiladas for dinner - my favorite!

Knowing that I'm truly blessed ... truly! And God gives me more strength than I know what to do with when I recognize that He's at work!

October is going to ROCK!

Cooler here...wishing it would not have rained so much so could finish our wheat harvest...yet grateful for the moisture and the many blessings that God has provided us! :)

Thanks for the lil {peek} into your life- it's always fun to read how your days unfold :)

And I agree- a warm fire-heated home and Starbucks are two of my fall favorites as well!

Have a great weekend!
