Coffee's ready...

OES, come by any time you want.

Winter's on its way, it's still above freezing, but a crisp chill in the air this morning. Most of the leaves have turned, lots of golden and red leafed trees here, it's beautiful. My two young pullets went into the coop 20 minutes ago, they're sitting inside. They're about due to start laying, maybe they're studying the nest boxes and trying to figure out what Goldie and Mossy do in there. I'm concerned about one of the young girls, she has a pretty serious case of wry tail. I just hope it doesn't cause her any trouble laying. I posted pix in another thread:

I'm drinking my Swedish coffee. A year ago our niece got married in Helsinki, we went there for the wedding, and her husband gave us some Swedish Löfbergs Lila Crescendo coffee as a gift. My wife doesn't drink much coffee, it gives her a stomach ache, but this stuff doesn't, she can drink it easily. We found a place here online that sells it, so we've been getting it regularly since then. It's quite good, works out to around $12 or $14 per pound with shipping.

Good morning chicken wranglers,
I took the family out for a weekend getaway.It was very special for them all.The wife and daughter got a spa treatment .25 minute massage and 25 minute facial.
Oes I had to turn on the furnace when we returned,It was a mere 58 degrees in the house.We like to wait until november ,usually befor we get into all the heat bill stuff,But I think being out of the house and having none of the regular activity made for a lack of residual heat that normally would have been generated by the daily running of the stove lights and all that.My thougfht anyway.
Alls wel,l God Bless!

I am getting ready to kill my fourth planting of lettuce... The highs are in the upper 80's / low 90's. It is killing me... I am breaking out in a sweat just going out to feed up. I have huge blooms on my summer squash plants and lots of blooms on my green bean plants. So, if the weather doesn't suddenly do a Dr Jekyl / Mr. Hyde on me, I am going to have an awesome fall harvest of Spring veg....

I feel like I have not been on here for ages.
To be honest I have not felt well. I think it is just being really tired and of course the shock of real life invading my lovely memories of SPAIN and SUNSHINE!
Danny got to go away on his first overnight restbite care since 1997!!!!!!!!!!!! DH and I were so worried and yet really pleased for him. It worked out so well but I will post it on another thread as I started a "giving up a child" thread and owe it to folk to let them know how things are progressing. Though I am not doing it today. I am back from being away overnight too!!!!!! We, us adults on an overnight!!!!! It was good fun and we enjoyed ourselves. Though we did sadly get inandated with calls from the family. Some wanting us to come home!!!!!! So we said NO and told them to "deal with their own emergency"! So there we are adults finally escaped!!!!! Dan is quiet but ok quite reflective I think he had fun.

Oes.

Are you using Internet Explorer? BYC had some problems after recent server updates; for most people clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser fixed that problem. There is a thread about it in the feedback forum. Internet Explorer is problematic for web designers, since it never sticks to interpreting the html code to the standards that everyone else tries to follow, so changes that work elsewhere often break on IE.

Did you see the new photo display features? Pretty cool stuff.
