Episode 07 - The one with no intro

Welcome back! This week something wonky was going on with the software I use for putting the intro and outro on my videos.  I decided it was best to simply load the video. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. Thanks for visiting with me today!

Yarn chat
I'm watching two new-to-me YouTube channels. They are Jayda InStitches and The Crochet Crowd. 

Nature notes
Deer hunting update - My son filled his deer tags!  
Snow finally happened.
Sun!

Homstead
Harvesting trees project.  

Books
I gave up on "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." It's just not the season for that heavy tome.  

I'm waiting for "Ender in Exile" to be come available again. The library audiobook expired when it was getting *really* interesting.

Currently listening to "The Rosie Project."  If you like screwball comedies and romance, go get this book!  The voice actor is Aussie, and he does a wonderful job. It's been a while since I laughed so much listening to a book.

Coop news
I found a second secret nest, and the babies have moved themselves into the big coop.

Barefoot in the kitchen
Making venison summer sausage and venison jerky. We had to buy a second smoker. 

 

Coffee talk
Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
Christmas is happening too soon in the stores. I'm not the only one tired of this.
