Well this year is certainly going by fast, it’s October already.
Wednesday on my way to work I saw something that I’ve never seen before…Bill thinks I’m crazy, but I saw what I saw…In a freshly harvested soy bean field I saw at least 50 hawks sitting on the ground spread out by about 20-30 yards between them…the looked like they were just sitting there waiting for a mouse to walk by or something. I wish I would have had my camera with me to take a picture of this, because I knew no one would believe me. I didn’t think there were that many hawks in our area, and I know that hawks don’t do that kind of thing, but there it was. I know what a hawk looks like, they weren’t eagles or turkey vultures for sure…they were just your standard sparrow hawks that you see sitting on top of poles or fenceposts along the road…well anyway I’m not crazy!
All summer I’ve been working a 4 day week with 10-11 hours a day, I asked to change that back to a 5 day week at the beginning of November. One more trip to town a week and one less day off a week, but shorter days (maybe even a few more hours a week too?).
Fall is in the air and the leaves are collecting on the patio in big piles. We’ve had the windows open at night when it hasn’t been too chilly…feels great. I’m not looking forward to the ice and snow though, driving to work in it sucks.
I did finally get the rest of the cherry tomatoes picked, and cleared off the last of the tomato plants…I have lots of little cherry tomatoes ready to eat and lots of green ones that will ripen up within a week or so…yummy.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen my little grandbaby Vaughn…I miss him…he’s probably grown an inch or 2 and put on a pound or 2…he’s getting cuter every time I see him!
As far as I know, the rest of the family is doing fine, all healthy and happy…so I guess that’s all for today.
See ya, love ya, bye.

Nice little read Cindy. Funny about the hawks though, guess it wasn’t an “Eagles Convention” ha, ha.
I’m sure you do miss Vaughn–its almost as if they are ours, but they’re not, but we love them just as much! His current picture looks a lot like Evie; kind of exotic. Hope those three are doing good, I say a prayer for them daily.
Well we’re watching (Oregon) football now, so I better pay attention! Luv Ya!
