4 Seconds A Day: October 2015

months are getting longer

Jack-No-Lantern

(from October 28th)

We didn't carve a pumpkin this year. I'm still kinda upset about it. But we did at least go buy some pumpkins. All Laura wants are the seeds anyhow. 

We gotta carve at least his.

Who Knew There Was A Zoo

For six years we've been driving past a small brown building with a giant snake on it, daily. I was under the impression that it was just some dude with a boa for a pet charging $6.60 or $8.80 to come in a feed it your small children or something. 

I wasn't that far off. 

 Those may have been statues

This guy says "Look at the bear!"

So we did.

Aesop had a little extra milk left over from lunch

This guy didn't seem interested. In living any longer.

And this little disturbed monkey seemed to sum up the whole collection of screwy little primates that lurk the grounds of this little snake hut.

Goats Yelling Like Humans

the best has to be at 1:41...

I'm noisy tonight

Should've Let It Come To Me

Goats.

We need dirt. Healthy soil to aid in our transplants and upcoming summer grow season. Eileen and Susie are our dealers. They got the good stuff. So I headed over this morning, dew and all, for a simple fill and flee mission, back in an hour. Not to be.

I hit that. With my tire. It was hidden in tall grass. The tire went flat in about 2.6 seconds.

Eileen and I chatted a bit while we waited for the local service gentleman to arrive and fix her up.

I had no idea about the fancy contraption holding my spare tire underneath the pickup. Now I know. My father would be so proud. I filled the truck bed half full and took off so I could get home in time to let Laura leave early enough to hit the gym. Successful.

After I got home and got out of the shower the phone rang and it was my friend and local man about town Keith and he said he had something for me. I said bring it on over. Then this happened...

Sometimes I think I should just stay in bed in the morning.

Wooden Legs

We Found Our Pumpkin!!

It's a good one too.


Bought it at Regina Farms our new favorite place...



We found these there too.


Now we don't have to die this winter. That'll be nice.

And there were goats & ducks & piglets.
