It seems as though something is messing with my blog site. Tuesday it wouldn't let me sign in. Last night I noticed the background had been changed. I am still working on it. Still have a few changes to make.

Tuesday
What an interesting title! I am sure that it just really tweaks a person's imagination. Unless you live in another part of the world, you would already know it was Tuesday, or at least I hope so. So you ask yourself, "Self, what could he be writing about that would have such a novel title?" Well, I hope that maybe I can provide a little insight to that question. Actually I really don't have a whole lot of wild and wooly things to talk about. I do have one thought. Let me re-phrase that! I have a thought. Tuesday, to some, might have a special meaning. It does to me. Mainly, the fact that I woke up breathing this morning has a sort of importance to me. Other thing of importance might be that today is the tomorrow that I put off doing something yesterday. Today will probably the day that I put off doing something until tomorrow that I had planned on doing today, like burning some trash. The wind is blowing gale force today, so burning is out. I may put some of the thistles out and let them blow south at 40 MPH!
Tuesday could be important in the way of birthdays, anniversaries or such things. I guess everyday has to have some importance to somebody. We need to be thankful for everyday. Wow, I have made a complete circle and convinced myself that the title "Tuesday" may be an eye-catcher to someone. I'm sorry that I didn't have anything earth-shattering to say, but you never know. It could have been something that just changed the world. (That's a laugh!)

Thoughts
Just sitting here drinking my morning coffee, reading the posts from my friends in bloggerville, watching snowflakes fall, and thinking about this post. My mind is actually kind of blank (not a good description ), maybe I should say it is wandering aimlessly in the world of no conscious thoughts. Nothing really new to write about, so why take the time. Then, lo and behold, a thought did actually materialize. I don't need anything to talk about. The important thing, in my opinion, is the maintaining of a line of communication. There may be a time where this may not be possible. It is not so much of a point of what we say, but that we are letting everyone know that we are still out here and that we are ok or not okay. I go through my blog list everyday if possible. The one thing I don't always do is take the time to comment on some of the important issues I read about. I may look and see there is already 30 comments, and will my comment just be lost in a sea of others, or it is a couple of days down the road. I apologize for this. This should not matter. I will try to do more in the future. It is always easier to do in the wintertime, but that is just a lame excuse on my part. I value all the friends that I have made in this electronic age that we live in, and want to continue on that. I guess my point is, and and I only have my finger pointed in my direction, if it is no more than a hello, how are you, I will try to do a better job of it.
I really don't know where this all came from, but I sometimes feel guilty when I don't post for a while. Oh well, just thinking. And that is scary!!!! Once again I am not pointing my finger at anyone, but myself.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS---johnnyb

Snow
Snow here this morning. There is no accumulation, just enough to remind us that winter is on the way. Big flakes and wet. I wouldn't mind if we had a few inches of it. The moisture would be appreciated. Temps have been hovering close to the freezing point. I covered the tomatoes last nite and will keep them covered for a few days. Supposed to warm up next week. Farmers have been trying to get their wheat planted, but just not much moisture in the ground.
The chickens were a little puzzled this morning with the snow flakes. They were looking at the flakes as if they should be chasing them. They are molting now, so egg production is dropping a little. We still have plenty. Should be getting our new pullets in the next week or so.
The dogs were not overly excited with the weather. They went out and did their morning jobs and came in and went back to bed. Life is tough.
Enough rambling--God Bless All---johnnyb

Fall has fell
Fall is starting to show its colors. As dry as it has been, I am surprised that the leaves didn't just fall off of the branches.
I enjoy this time of year. To me it is a relaxing time of year. The only problem is, there is never time to relax. We have been getting the garden ready for next year. The ground where we have our garden is really poor, so it has been a long process trying to amend the dirt. Hopefully by next year we can have a better garden. We are doing more composting in the raised beds this winter and plan on putting in more of them. I got some newspapers out of the recycling trailer last week, so will be putting them down and covering with a dirt, manure, and other composting materials. The tomatoes are still producing a few. They just didn't do well this year. Carol has canned a few quarts, but nothing like we had planned on. She canned some apples last week. Those will be good this winter.
Can't believe it is October already. I guess time flies when you are having fun. I hope everyone is doing ok. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who is not. It makes no difference that I don't know who is and who isn't, or that I don't know who reads this. My prayers are there anyway. There is only One who knows and that is what counts.
