It’s been a while since I’ve posted. A long while. And a lot has happened… (We had buffalo burgers- and they were awesome! I had four chickens disappear in ONE day- including Speckles, the broody hen. The ‘baby’ chick is now probably our 2nd biggest chicken- 2nd only to the rooster!) but I still don’t have a job.

One thing about not having a job is that I get to watch the trees change daily. Last year at this time I was travelling. A LOT. I remember the leaves being green one week and it seemed like by the time I got back home (a couple of days) all the leaves had fallen already. And while I would, honestly, rather have a job than watch the trees change, it’s been nice to  see the beautiful colors. (And I am trying to remain positive and optimistic… even though I’ve been out of work for almost 9 months now)

My sister Katie got this shot while we were at the lake this weekend. You can see that they are starting to drain the lake. She fell in love with my camera too. (Nikon L100) You really can’t beat the features for the price!

In other I-Love-My-Camera news, my sister and I got pictures of each other’s eyes. Weird, I know. But I love the color of my eyes. They’re hazel, and I think they resemble sunflowers. If only my vision wasn’t so very horrid, they wouldn’t be half bad!

I see you.

One good thing about the cold weather is that we HAD to get our pekepoo, Jolee, a new coat. Okay, so she probably hates it more than anything, but it’s cute and as I remind her daily… beauty is pain. hee hee.

So, in spirit of Fun Foto Friday, may I present Jolee in her new coat (and don’t try to tell me she’s not one cute puppy dog because I’ll know you’re lying):

This is her “Oh? You’re taking pictures of me?” pose.

This is her “Leg kicked out” pose.

This is her “They have food! They have food!” pose.

And, so that you don’t think that she has it TOO rough, a picture from last night of how she spends her evenings:

Two words: Spoiled Rotten.

**And I totally got the dog coat from Wal-Mart. They have some cute (well priced) dog clothes.**

Nothing beats a nest full of (colorful!) eggs!

The chickens are down to laying 5-6 eggs a day. (The nest above wasn’t collected for a couple of days) Fall is definitely upon us.
