6th inning of the World Series

AND IT'S 11:30 at night!

This whole East Coast things sucks when it comes to sports. Am I not supposed to sleep during the playoffs?

It's a good thing I get an extra hour tonight.

A pillow's last moments

Ripley is a wonderful dog ... right before my guests from Seattle were to arrive he destroyed a pillow.

Why?

What makes him decide he can't let the pillow live any longer?

Notice the "Snow Angel" where his tail is wagging.

It's a work from home day.

And the dogs are really happy about that.

Ripley making sure I don't get up

We've had some really nasty cold weather, they were happy to soak up some sun.

Expecting People in Purcellville

As I'm being reminded, I'm not blogging.

Work is very busy right now and outside of working/commuting my days are spent on course work or spent shoveling horse manure, mowing, filling Ollie's holes, and just general outside fall care.

Apples are in season, and they are my second favorite food. My pear tree was overproducing and on the verge of breaking the limbs so I ended up feeding much of them to the horses, goats and chickens.

Roger is due home on Tuesday for a couple of weeks. It's sooner than we had planned which is great - but will make the next separation MUCH longer. Then the following Tuesday my sister/brother-in-law and some friends of theirs are due in. They will be mostly sight seeing, with big plans for DC. I will show them how to use the metro - then they are on their own.

I'm sure I'll be posting some fall pictures soon - cause it's the best time of year here.
