Ahhhhhh......

Yesterday was a chilly day...Thursday, the high temp was 87F.  Friday it was 61F.  Once again, Mother Nature is confused as to what MODERATION means....but it was a refreshing change.  The chickens didn't like it - they all lined up along the fence on the run, their feathers all boufed up and their skinny little chickens legs sticking out from underneath LOL  And we only got one egg - BOOOO!

After my husband got home from work, we used the rest of the daylight (which wasn't very much now that it gets dark earlier) to cut up some pallets.  Have to take advantage of the cooler weather while we can.  We will do some more today - the high is supposed to be only 61F again.

We are also going to a local festival for a little while to see what is new this year.  We will probably be dodging some raindrops, but we do try to patronize the local festivals when we can as our community and the surrounding towns are so small.

Hope you are all enjoying a little breather from the heat - ahhhhhhh....

We've finally dropped into the 80s here. Thank goodness for fall!

Hope you had fun at the festival. What are your plans for the re-purposed pallet wood? I love using the free wood from pallets. Feel free to tell me to mmob, too, if you want. :)

ADoC - It's only here for a couple days - will get warmer later in the week again, but it has been delightful to open windows!

Tina - We get it free from the business next to my husband's work. They are solid oak pallets, so we cut them up to use for firewood in our wood stove we put in last winter. Free fuel for free heat - love it :-)
