The Post Without a Real Name

I do believe it's time for another post. 

Yesterday evening around 6:30, I let Minnie and Pearl, the pigs, out of their pen so they could graze.  With a little container of grain in hand, I walked around our house while leading two pigs, some cats, and ten+ chickens behind me.

As we came to the elm trees, the pigs ran ahead of us and began burrowing in the damp dirt surrounding the trunks.  After some time of up turning the dirt, the chickens came behind and ate earthworms and scratched in the soil. 

Today we three kids got up around 7 and went with Dad to gather some cow/calf pairs.  It was a hair chilly this morning and everything felt good so we got to lope the horses some while trying to maintain control on the cattle.  Once the cattle were penned, we waited for a truck to come and haul them away to their new home.

Fall is really starting to show itself now as the pastures are losing what little green they had, the trees' leaves are turning to that pretty orange, and the temperatures are dropping.  And...whoa!  October is almost over?  Well, I guess you can't slow down time.

Maybe this post will tide you till the next, and I hope it does.  Thanks.  : )
