Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 91 Gone Too Long

It is again too long between writing, Every time I turn around it is another week gone. The trip north went well, I had a good visit with my cousin. I did get some line fence work done, mostly marking and signs posted for the deer season up coming. My nephews only hunt the farm and it needs to stay that way. my one nephews son got a nice size buck this year during the early youth hunt. He was one excited young hunter. His proper name is Hunter. Then we had our little get together for our now 80 year old neighbor, It went well. I think she was pleased. Then we drained our water system for the season. When we go up during the cold we only refill the cold water leaving the hot water drained. It is much simpler to fill and re- drain the cold water only. The biggest problem was my heart during the first night, I think I got over tired. I take limited medication for A-Fib. Me getting over tired can cause problems. The time change most likely did not help. But now to more recent news.

We are getting thing ready for winter here, Weather stripping doors, and Caulking. We are now also raking leaves and filling our leave compost operation. There is still Brussel Sprouts to pick one more time and Garlic and Strawberries to cover. We work to have things buttoned up here by Thanksgiving which is appropriate.

We will be in this old Queen Ann house 24 years in January. which is the longest either one of us has been in any one location. I never planned to be here this long. we had planned to move north 10 years ago. We could not do it. For us it would have been to stressful and would have been a bad choice. Now we will stay here till the end but I will not let the place fall down around us. Our kids and grandkids will need to carry us out. but I do worry about the upkeep here. The future will be interesting but also scary. Now onto weather stripping.

I hope you are having a Blessed Day
