Unseasonably Warm
It’s been so beautifully warm here in Central New Hampshire for the last week or so. There was one morning with rain but it cleared out so Sun could shine and warm us mere humans up. Honestly, I could stand this weather till spring. Wolf went up to Gitch’s Funny Farm yesterday to assist in the culling of turkeys. I don’t remember how many he and Erik ended up culling but I think two dozen. Wolf is exhausted but happy. He enjoys working with Erik and assisting up on their farm and would rather be body tired than brain tired. This morning I asked Wolf “you realize you’re Erik’s appr

Chickenless
Wolf culled the chickens (10) yesterday. Howling Hill is sans chickens. *pout*

Good Autumn
The usual panic I feel around this time of the year has not come. Sometimes I feel the Black Dog lurking (hat tip to Winston). Anyone Facebook friends with me or Twitter will see my status occasionally says “The Black Dog is on the horizon.” or something like that. Mostly, though, I’m feeling good.

Closing the windows two weeks ago was also hard. Getting ready to cull the chickens. Wolf plans to do so on Saturday I think. I’m turning inward like I always do at this time of the year. Instead of fighting the inevitable depression I’m al

What Have I To Say For Myself?
I’ve been very remiss in blogging. So much so I think I’ve lost all my regular readers. As much as that sucks, I’m glad to say my life is busier than Times Square on New Years Eve. Well, maybe not too glad… School and work have taken over my life. I do not have two days in a row off which really sucks. I’ve been very, very tired totally sapped of energy and strength. I haven’t had time to clean my house or do laundry, or be in the garden. Time has gotten so scarce for me Wolf and I have been contemplating finding Athena a new home. We pulled up the garden a few weeks back and let the chickens in to do their thing. The garden d
