BYC Café

Had another scare today.
I knew I was going to be late getting home so I had UN get DH at 1:30 and bring him to my mom's.
I got a text from the neighbor at 3:12 asking if I knew why my front door was wide open.:eek:

I frantically called him and told him DH must have let UN in the front door and didn't lock it. I asked him to get the dogs back in. He said he didn't see them. That ramped up the panic alarm.

I called my mom and asked her to go up the hill and help find the dogs and Mogwai.
I called the neighbor back and he'd managed to find the dogs and coax them back into the house with PB. But said he couldn't find Mogwai. I told him a few of her hiding places and he found her behind the coffee maker on her stack of egg cartons. Phew!

Bella and her door opening was funny at first but it's a terrible combination with someone with AD. I'm going to tape the dead bolt thumb latch with a big X to try to remind DH to leave it alone. But UN will need to know to make sure all the doors with lever style handles that lead to the outside are locked so Bella can't open them when he leaves with DH in the future.

Once I knew everyone was safe, I had a melt down at work. Thank goodness for compassionate work friends with out of the way offices... And for hair color so I can dye all my new gray hairs.
Oh wow, thank goodness it turned out well! I'm sure you did sprout some grays after that :(
 
Good evening Cafe.
Pot of Earl Grey tea brewing on the stove. Yup, I've lit the stove. It's chilly here at 4C.
It's been a lovely day here. Lots of blue sky and sunshine.
A couple of pictures taken while on the track going North up the mountain today.

It is, There are still 59 of them living on this property, plus the growth from those that got cut down about 30 years ago.
 
I remember seeing the olive 'orchards' in Jaen while on the train from Madrid to Granada. Beautiful sight it was. Lucky you.. do you harvest any?
Not all olive trees bear fruit. Those that do here have been neglected for so long that they produce a few olives when the conditions are close to ideal. They are oil making olives, not really eating olives. though you can get them edible with some work.
 
I just revamped the run to get it ready for winter. You'd think I was running around in there with a bloody hatchet instead of just dumping a wheelbarrow full of wood chips with the way those girls were behaving. :rolleyes: At least Fabio kept his head about him.

One truck full of wood chips and a bunch of stumps. I'll be installing another 14' branch on brackets along the front wall tomorrow.

Mine love it when I dump grass clippings out for them!
