We had snow off and on all day today. They're calling for snow for the next 6 days. It's nice to finally get some moisture. Tomorrow I'll open the septic up again and see if it's still draining. If it is I'll put the lid on and cover it up with gravel.
We need to take a day next week and get the studded tires put on the Jeeps.

Hope you don’t get another shower 🤞
 
Filled a Dollar Tree cart and an Aldi cart. Bought 5 lbs of fresh cranberries for a buck a lb at Aldi, and I think I'll can then in the next few days....boil them, adding sugar and water and oranges. I love cranberries that way. They also had two turkeys at 77 cents a lb. So I bought them both, and will roast them and freeze for lunchmeat. I did two last week.

Nice scores!
 
Got mom home from rehab yesterday. (Hip dislocation) caused by going crazy with a UTI. Her brain isn't recovering from the UTI and she is so confused.

He doctor said she may also have had some type of stroke that is only showing in her brain.

It was so hard yesterday figuring out how to position the chair etc. Her bedroom is packed with furniture and not very maneuverable.
Today will be spent getting her back on a schedule here at home. My brother is here helping.
 
That sounds rough! Hang in there ST farmer.
Needing to call my Florida sis today...her 70th bday already. I sent her a case of Beenie Weenies. All good preppers should have Beenie Weenies.
Taking husband in to Wichita for his eye specialist. This will be an all day thing, it's quite a drive. Need to get going on animal chores first.
 
didn't do much yesterday except eat too much, and we played games after animal care and eating
Called daughter and she was taking granddaughter trick or treating down her road for a little bit ( she is not 2 yet)
Oh and husband figured out the problem with the solar, it is just a fuse in cables. So all the panels we have work. Now we need to order a more amp charge controller and inverter, actually 2
I have no major plans for today yet. Starting to miss the market already. The weather is still so nice, we should have just kept it going a while longer.
 
Not much to report yet. Got up, worked out, made coffee, sitting here. I did check Charlene to make sure no ghosts or goblins decided to venture into her proximity, but as expected she was just sitting there all blue and sleek. The cleaning crew was busy working so I am guessing someone had a Halloween party last night. I should have crashed it.
 
Got a couple more inches of snow last night, still snowing. Supposed to snow every day until Wednesday. Later this morning I'll take a flashlight out and take a peak in the septic, if it looks "good" then I'll cover up the hole. Yesterday I got the walk behind snowblower out of the barn so I can change the oil and adjust the tracks, etc. Might change oil in the tractor and the wife's Jeep today too, then finish putting the motorized kayak (Mokai) together. I'd like to take it out for a spin before everything freezes up.
Today might be a good chili making day.
 
Got a half inch of rain over night, just light showers so the ground soaked it all up. No run off or puddles anywhere. Glad to get it, lessen the fire danger which was worrisome.

Trip to town in a bit for groceries and errands.
