I'm glad you are alright!Today felt like soup day so I made two pots. Vegetable beef/hamburger for DH and Pennsylvania Dutch chicken rivvle soup for me.
Went out to take care of the chickens and see if the rat I've been fighting for about a week had dug any more tunnels under the concrete pad under the coop. Haven't had any field rats show up for at least 3 years now have one digging caverns everywhere. I've been stuffing bait down tunnels and blocking them up. Danged thing is either getting fat on the bait or storing it up for winter.
Then went to the barn to grab some straw for the nesting box and managed to trip over some firewood and do a header into the tractor bucket. You don't realize how hard steel is until you make contact with it head first. Skinned up a shin, cut my hand and gave myself a headache. I imagine I'll be a sore old lady in the morning. I'm just glad I didn't split my scalp open and gladder still that I didn't break something important....like my skull.
Soup turned out delicious which was a good consolation, though. It's chilly enough here that soup and chili are going to be high in demand around here.
