its been such a gorgeous day here today, bright bright sunshine, and warm for october. theres been a warm breeze too, lifting the fallen leaves and setting them twirling and dancing ,up and around and down and then up once again, in a crazy choreography thats both haphazard and exciting.
I worked outside for hours, cleaning out the hens and reflooring their run so that its nicer for them over the coming winter months. They rewarded me with an egg today, lol, just the one. we have been egg poor for the last few weeks as the little hens moult, so todays little egg was a lovely gift.
Ive played hunt the deposits! its difficult poopscooping the garden when so many leaves are falling daily!
a little like hidden landmines, its definitely a job to take cautiously lol, but all done now, and a big pile of leaves raked up too. With my sons help, we took some branches off the big plum tree, and then I planted an apple tree- a bramley- with my blessings to grow well and flourish. Ive planted some tulips. three loads of washing have been done and dried in the gusty breeze, and now I am indoors, with roast pork cooking. Ive hung my two hare pictures on the wall now, made a quick cake for lunchboxes, and had a good clean indoors. Its been a good day, a busy day and I am content.

Sounds like you've had a super late Autumn day. September and October have, for the most part, been perfect here in the Midlands. Though today its been damp and very windy.
Have a great week!

What a lovely day to have had. Sounds almost famous five like in it's simplicity and hard work. But I'm sure you should have had a boiled egg with thinly sliced brown bread for tea.

It is so hard to imagine that one could plant a tree so late in the year. We do plant tulips in October, but this year was not a good one for even that.
We had a pork roast last Sunday. It seems as if it is either roast port, roast beef (roasted beast, as we call it) or fried chicken.
