Can you tell which dog is......

super well-behaved, and which one is not so much so?








Don't they accessorize so nicely with the gorgeous fall color? I think so, too.








Today the dogs and i played like REAL farmers. We loaded up into the Husbands big truck, i put on my mud boots, and we headed over to the local cattle farmers house for some bales of straw. There are some weak spots in the back of the house as far as the air-tight foundation goes, so i needed to put some straw up against it, now that winter is once again rearing it's head.

The dogs thought this was pretty damn cool! I am sure that they will eat the straw at some point. Doesn't Henry look like a little Donkey back there? He is SUCH a donkey...loves to mosey around the farm, just taking it all in.

There is one thing that stinks about being in the North Country, and that is NO decent Thai food. We have been to two restuarants, and they were horrid....so, i just make my own. So far i have Pad Thai and Tom Kha Gai down pat...and last night i added Green Chicken Curry to my repertoire. I am work on Red Curry...and hope to have it all down good so that the husband and i can feast when he is home on leave.

Another thing that stinks....the closest yarn shop is over 50 miles away. Can you even believe this? I cannot!! Today i really just had the urge to hang out in a yarn shop, sit, knit and chat a little....but the idea of driving 50 miles to do it pretty much killed that urge! So...i baled straw instead, drank a beer on the back porch in my adirondack chair, and chatted on the phone to the 'rents instead.
