No title for this one

Time, it flies.

Muscles, they ache and throb and cause all kinds of regrets for youth - remember when you were made of elastics and didn't know what a Tylenol was?

Yeah, those days.

I'm up to my eyeballs in barn reno work and cannot wait to see the day when everyone's moved in, nice and cozy for the winter. I shall celebrate with something frivolous such as a day of sleeping in until 10am or something :-D

I need to charge up the lawn tractor's battery to give the lawn one good mow before the winter. The grass has grown so high and thick it's laying flat down so I've no idea if it's even possible to mow at this point, but I have to give it a go or next spring's lawn growth will be sloooow.

The gardens need to be chopped down in preparation for the coming snow... The garage cleanup  is underway and soon the winter tires go on the car -

Where! Does! Life! Fly! To!

In honor of the fast-approaching Halloween, do head on over to The Chicken Diaries for a short clip of... zombie chooks!

And that's my good night gift to you :-)

The video is hilarious!

I do believe your chooks love you! I can't get my neighbor's chooks to come near me - they are so wild!

Also, your chooks look really really good (as in healthy - not tasty)... What a fabulous job you are doing!

Loved the video!

Snow tires? already????
It would be great if you slept until 10 am...but I doubt if you would let it happen.
I do remember NEVER feeling pain, and I used to be upside down and bent in half most of my childhood.

Wow.. you have a lot to do. I don't have to worry about putting the winter/snow tires on my car, but I do need to get new tires for my back wheels as those tires are almost bald. Ooops.

Well.. Hope everything comes together as you need it to.

The thought of winter prep is making me slightly queasy!

You are such a hard worker. I assume that once most of this work is done you will be able to rest a little bit during winter, at least I hope so.

I remember when I didn't need tylenol or caffeine or sleeping pills or anything else. I was just awake! Or asleep! Or doing something fun!

Yeah, I don't know what happened either!

Oh, those lovely Canadian Tylenol with the 'special' ingredients... lucky! :)

Jeez is it that time of year already?

As I read these things you have to do, I was all, "Really? You're supposed to do these things before winter?"

All I do is put the tires on. *shrugs* Plants can take care of themselves.
