October's Golden Light

 

I just had to write tonight as this has been a perfect October day. Perfect temperatures. Wonderful breezes with the sound of the wind chimes murmuring and singing again when a stronger breeze floats on past. The sky is blue in the way that only October can be. I was sitting on the back porch and the wind is causing the trees to make the sound of the ocean rushing through the branches. The cottonwoods are shimmering in the wonderful sparkling air. I do love October. I am so happy to see summer go.

 

The road is all finished and the out house was picked up, and the last water truck left on Friday afternoon.  All except the traffic light. They haven't turned the stop light on yet, so there continue to be car wrecks. Every day. People run the stop sign.
I have no clue why but it is very dangerous to come down that road. I have taken to driving around the block. It seems quieter in front and I am not afraid of dying every time I go to get the mail or get the trash cans. I think it will be an improvement. I have only looked at houses down dirt roads only three times today.

 

I hope to resume my normal life again. Like blogging and walking and being outside enjoying the beautiful  weather. We have been making Kombucha every five to six days. The SCOBY have been growing like crazy and today I had read it is beneficial for chickens. I cut it up which is a whole lot like cutting raw fish. Except in the case of Kombucha it smells really nice. It is a natural  probiotic. I didn't know if my hens would eat it, but they went crazy for it. I went out a bit later and every single bit was gone. We have read that you can grind the SCOBY's up and use it for plant fertilizer. Maybe next year if I do then I might have tomatoes. Here is a link if you want to read all about it. Cultures for Health. I don't think I am going crunchy but I kind of think it sounds that way on my blog.

I hope you have a wonderful week. Ron's birthday is this week, and our oldest daughter. My goodness, time has flown by. I am though, really, really loving this stage of life. Its worth having grown old with Ron because I think life just gets better and better. Well except in politics. Not going there. Aren't you glad?

Happy October!

Happiness is a thing of now.
