It's Fall, Y'all

We've declared it. Fall has arrived.
Naw, we're just funning everybody. But we did harvest some pumpkins this week. Mostly because the rotten birds have found them in the pumpkin patch and started to eat holes in them. You know, because we don't feed them 100lbs of pellets a week or anything. Poor birds are about to starve to death.

While we were down in the pumpkin patch, we found this gem. Nothing like a homegrown watermelon to snack on after a hot day on a lawn mower.

We are still getting a steady stream of tomatoes from the garden. We figured we had enough sketti sauce for the winter, so we changed gears to tomato soup. We add kale to all our tomato things now. Because, vitamins.

We had old school steak for dinner one night this week, and had some left over. So, steak and eggs went down over the weekend.

Next week should be a bit more busy for us. We are a week into our new bed and one of the differences we've noticed is this one is a lot higher than the old one. Lawman made our end tables even with the old bed, so now phone charging and remote control retrieval are dangerous events. We've got some bee hive lumber left over, Lawman says he may get around to building us some new tables, level with the new bed. We will see.
We ended the week with wings.

Short Week

The rain kept us inside most of last week. We did take the pickles we had from last week off and canned them up. That filled up one day. We had a request for jelly that we shipped out, and a second request we delivered in person. Our pal JJ was in town for the weekend and we fixed her up a goody bag to take home with her. Lawman dropped it off and would have liked to spent a little time to get caught up, but we had a delivery coming.
Two weeks ago we took a trip down Big Lick way to the Sleep Number store. We had been reading up on the new innovations and thought we could benefit from an upgrade. We tried out several on the showroom floor, and settled on the one Cupcake liked, because Lawman is no dummy. We scheduled delivery for Saturday after the end of the month.
They delivered it, took down the old sleep number bed and hauled it off for us, then set up the new bed. It has bells, whistles, and a frame that lights up when one of us gets up to pee, which is going to be a knee saver for one of us. It also has a remote, and a smartphone app that we both downloaded to our phones to control the thing. It may take a week or two of tinkering to get the hang of sleeping in it like pros?
We've spent one night on it so far, and it rocks. We recommend it, if anyone has considered purchasing one.
As for picture updates:

The best part of being a nerd? Laundry day, so all your neighbors know you're a nerd.

And lard. First we made a chocolate pie early in the week to have for dessert.

Sunday morning biscuits with lard instead of butter. Yeah, this is the stuff.

We ended the week with wings in lard.
