A big weather change is coming in. The day started off nice and sunny but the clouds are taking over and the temperature is dropping. Supposed to get close to freezing tonight with a chance of thunderstorms this evening and tomorrow. Think I better turn the furnace back on tonight before I go to bed. Tomorrow the high is only to be in the low 50’s.
Kathy and I went into town to get the supplies we need for the feed sack tote bag project Saturday. I had no idea duck tape comes in so many colors and patterns now. I also picked up groceries for the lunch I am fixing for my company that is coming Thursday.
The kitten litter containers are working well for the chicken feed. They are light enough it makes it easy to carry them down to the pen after I fill them in the garage. The mice haven’t been able to chew through them either. I knew I saved those containers for something. It is rare that I save something if I don’t have a specific purpose in mind for it.
We saw Chad at McDonald’s while we were in town so stopped to talk to him for a few minutes. He caught me up on my remaining McDonald’s family members. Not too many are still working there that worked for me. Hard to believe it has been four years since we sold the stores. So glad we did though. It is certainly a different business now than it was 29 years ago when we opened our first store. Owning the stores almost feels like it was in a different lifetime than the one I have now.
We have watched truck after truck full of cattle go down the road in front of my house the last couple of days. It is nice to see pastures full of cattle again. The dogs are in heaven with something to watch and take care of.
My mind is quiet today. Nothing seems to stick as thoughts fly through my head. I like days like this, I feel very grounded and at peace with being. Nothing pressing to do on my list and able to relax into beingness instead of doing stuff.
Nicole is flying home today after being gone for a couple of days with friends. I haven’t spoke to her yet so trusting she has had a good time. She needed to get away for a short vacation and be with her friends. She took tomorrow off so she can have a recovery day after being gone. A short, two-day work week will be good for her.
Quiet, relaxing day. All is well on the beautiful green prairie today.
