It's been too long

Welcome Back Good Buddies!

It has been way too long since I have posted. I'm not sure which I miss more, being out on the road or writing in this blog. Unfortunately the reasons that I have not started up a new blog are not good ones. My fears of this one becoming inactive will keep me posting sporadically until circumstances change. I can not get back out on the road, but maybe, just perhaps, I can still contribute to one dream, that of writing down my thoughts and experiences here.

We are deep in the fall season here in upstate NY, Halloween is only a week away. While we still had some beautiful fall foliage yesterday, I am sure after the drenching rains of last night, they will soon be another thing of the past. Time to hunker down until Spring. I guess if I made it through a blizzard in Fargo, ND (among others) I can make it through this winter here in NY. Hopefully, anyway.

I keep telling Joe that I am going to run away from home. The wide open spaces of the western states are always calling to me in my thoughts and in my dreams. One thing I have learned is that things in our lives are always changing; that thought seems to give me the courage to endure this time in my life.

Today we have planned to visit two of our favorite places: Tractor Supply and Cracker Barrel!
Its been some time since we have had a day to just enjoy spending some time together so I am looking forward to it. With the colder weather on tap, we need to get a heated water jug for the chickens, I'm hoping to start some holiday shopping.

We are finally settling in at the new place, the shed was finished last week, the tractor and the Harley now have a place to sit out the winter in anticipation of warmer weather. Our grass is finally coming in but the rest of the chores will have to wait until spring. Now to concentrate on the inside jobs....LOL.

Hoping to keep up with my blog .......... y'all come back again real soon!!!
