Five inches of rain in about as many days has dampened our productivity. Even so, we made an appointment to pick up a couple of bales of straw this morning. This is what a half ton of straw looks like:

Bedding for the birds/mulch for the plants

Michael made cinnamon rolls to warm the house, and then allowed me to give them a Day of the Dead touch in case any survive until tomorrow.

The weather has been inauspicious for slaughtering birds, so we got to enjoy their company for yet another day.

End of day blessed us with a ray or two of sunshine as we gathered firewood for the night.

Happy Halloween!
