please welcome Amanda

August 31, 2011

There’s plenty to be grateful for this fine late summer day, even with my beloved

Giants in a giant swoon.  Our cat Ollie had his drainage tube removed and Jude has

devised a way to cover his stitches, allowing me to work outside.  Our dog Slinkee

is learning that the chickens are her friends, which is good because she figured out

how to get in their run.  Our island is having a gala fall fair Sunday.

 

But the best news is that Amanda, a young woman I’ve been helping set up a blog,

has launched it.  It’s a feature of her website, which focuses on her photography.

Please treat yourself to her talent here.  I’m adding her to my blogroll.

 

Now that I’m sprung after two days of watching Ollie constantly, I’m off to soak up

some of this glorious sunshine.  The first hint of autumn blew through the farm

yesterday, and I’ve got beaucoup summer projects to finish up.

 

I’ve had many suggestions submitted in the chicken-naming contest, but no bribes

yet.  I’ll announce the winner Friday, so there’s still time to enter in the comments

section of this post or this one.

 

 

P.S.  Thanks, Beanie.  The tuna juice idea worked great.
