Joyfully Home

Where has this year gone

Although i would not like to repeat it, it has rushed past in a blur. A lot has happened sence the last time i was on here.

ON September 8 my Grandma passed away. it was a very hard thing to have to go through and she will be greatly missed. I really did not think she would live long abter my mom died. She was very close to my mon and she had already buried 3 sons, and her beloved husband. She had just turned 90 in july and i am sure she was just tired.

On the home front things are getting colder that is for sure, 16 deg. this AM. very unseasonal for us. We usually have our first snow on the 31st of this month but it is always too warm for it to stick. Now if it snows we will have snow for a while. AHHH highmountian desert living!!!

We have bucthered all the chickens we are going to. The freezer is full of chicken, lots of yummy dinners there!!!!!!!!!!!! i have canned all the apples we got, and most of the potatoes. i have 3 hugh pumpkins on the table to process, i told John they where my fall decoration, he said it was a bit of over kill. LOL

We butchered one of the goats, we have one more to go. We think all the does are bred, PTL. We have 3 to sell, one buck and 2 does. Three more rabbits to butcher. I will be glad when this is all done.

 We now have a horse!! My hubby and son are training him to drive. He is a very calm sweet horse. What a blessing.

We have most of the fire wood we will need for the winter.(Lord willing) The gardens are just about put to bed.

I have been doing a great deal of knitting, son was in need of more socks, and i am about done with a sweater for me.

Well i guess this is enough for now.

Laundry awaits.
