The inside boys sharing a chair!!
Today's Ding Dong Ditch was a big ol' Alligator Lizard.
This morning’s sunrise.
Saw this recently... pork at the grocery store here in the south.
Who can do with out smoked pork jowls or hocks? Then everyone's favorite, Souse Meat! When i was a kid i'd help my uncle haul hogs to sell at the Zeigler slaughter house.

Cooking a tri tip and having a baked sweet potato and green beans tonight.
Souse
It's ground up and pickled, pigs feet, ears and tongues. It's jelly like and a version of head cheese. I hated both as a kid and have steered clear ever since.

Pretty close to what we call "scrapple" up here.
March then 160 days later, labor day... River is running low in late summer. Still some deep pools for swimming. It also concentrates the fish. 
Makes canoeing difficult though, too many shallows.

Hope it fills up this fall. Beautiful pictures!March then 160 days later, labor day... River is running low in late summer. Still some deep pools for swimming. It also concentrates the fish.
Cotton is open, picking underway everywhere. Thought I’d post the painful part of picking by hand.
When a cotton bowl is green the hull is fairly soft. When it opens and dries the points on the hull are rock hard and fairly sharp. They will cut skin. By the end of picking season everyone’s hands were a bloody mess, couldn't be avoided. (no serious cuts that required stitches)
I remember elementary school in september. It was easy to spot the kids who picked cotton. Our hands would be covered in bandaids and mecuricome.
The cotton below is tall, between 3&4 ft. Looks like a fine crop. I hated picking short cotton. Had to bend over and pick, never really straight up. It was murder on your back.

Yesterday we had wind rain and snow. Got our first load of cows off the mountain too.
Activity in the Soybean field, must be time for the Harvest?

Hard to see, but my UPS (power backup battery for computer) still has styrofoam and plastic on it for safekeeping. But I got a basket and a vent hood (from a dell cpu fan off ebay) to make some sort of protection for the holes on the top and the cables out the back. It should still allow for some air flow but protect it from cats throwing up.
The green grocery bag above bumped stuff so it shifted over-- it will be more to the right and I need to figure out the best way to secure stuff. The idea is that the hood hangs over where things plug in so no liquid from hairballs or anything else the cats throw at it will not get on the plugs and short stuff out like on the old UPS. I'll need to figure out a way to protect the sides from the cats that still spray (my brother needs to get them neutered), but the top is the most vulnerable bc stuff drips straight down-- hence the basket. Still allows air to flow but protects the vents.

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap231015.htmlExplanation: Yes, but can your tree do this? If you look closely at the ground in the featured image, you will see many images of yesterday's solar eclipse -- created by a tree. Gaps between tree leaves act like pinhole lenses and each create a small image of the partially eclipsed Sun visible in the other direction.

FIRST BIRTH at Happy Roots Homestead!! Born on Friday the 13th. Wasn't expecting it this soon. It's a month off. So, after going over dates a few times..... Conclusion is Mama "JEFF" was pregnant before she came to us on 6/15. Interestingly, mama had already dropped twins 3/20 this year!! She has never lambed twice in a year before, and has only had twins. So, it was definitely a surprise! Happy Friday the 13th!! This little guy's name is OREO. He's a Dorper/Churro Cross.

His pet door is open, and his heated bed is inside.

My new robe hook is installed (I need to figure out how to disguise where I accidentally scraped the wall) after much sweating and swearing
It holds my hair rag and wrap that I wear when I get out of the shower. Now to figure out where to put the slippers hanger...

Why do all the people who run into Bigfoot always have the absolute crappiest cameras on the planet?

Maybe just cuddle instead?
I could just do a selfie.
This was staged by a prankster known for doing it.
The first give away was he is wearing sunglasses.
Geez, if they're going to send in a picture of Bigfoot to the media, at least make it realistic and believable like this one:
Put my plumber's hat on today. Mama wanted a new faucet and pop up drain. Happy (kinda) Wife = Happy Life!
