ONE MORE

One more just cannot help myself. That little turned up nose is so cute, he mommy and daddy both have the same nose. 
Such a happy little baby she is smiling big already! There is much to smile about as she is totally loved and adored.

The leaves keep falling and the sidewalks and streets are ankle deep. Hubby was out for a while earlier and raked our sidewalks clean and now I look out and they are covered once again.
As I walked today I avoided the leaves as I do not any surprise fouling my shoe if you get my drift. Luckily my husband checked his shoes before entering the house and good thing too as there was doggy poo. Not our fave.
The crows are working the nut trees diligently on Beacon Rd as they always do this time of year. They were cawing and flapping those black glossy wings as they dropped nuts to the pavement hoping to crack them. I talk to them when I go by in my crow talk. No one can hear me as I am in the country but still, who talks to crows?

My husband just left on a bid west into the country. I surely hope he gets this job. It is a referral so he more than likely will. 

We are looking forward to another RV trip before to long, Lincoln City will be our destination if we have four days in a row without work. We need to spend at least three nights as it is more of a drive for us than Florence.

Much on the agenda as far as TV viewing. Tonight is the CMA Awards. If you are not into country music it will not matter to you. We of course are into new country. My husband was never a country fan EVER! But something has changed in him and it is at this point one of his favorite genre's. I am thankful for that as we are music folks and I like all kinds of music, well almost all. That show will be three hours long tonight. It starts at eight so we will eat first. After having steak taco's and refried beans last night I decided a easy dinner to make tonight is veggie tostado's as I have everything to make them and we still have half a pot of refried beans left. There is no problem having that fare as far as hubby is concerned, his favorite food as you know.

Tomorrow night is the OREGON/STANFORD game. I am biting my nails already in preparation. We not only need to win we need to look good according to the analysts. It does make me nervous as STANFORD will be our toughest competitor to date this year. Hopefully the ducks will not get off to a sloppy start. It should be quite a game. Please DUCKS win!!!!
For game fare I putting a rub on a beautiful boneless beef roast, browning in the black iron skillet and tucking it into the slow cooker. After it is all tender I will slice it thin for French dips. I bought some soft small buns to warm and will make au jus sauce from the drippings and horseradish dunk. Homemade shoestring fries to the side and we are set. We can eat on the sammies all evening long.

I have accomplished much today. My day started early, a toasted muffin with my blackberry jam and two cups of java and out the door to grocery shop. Completed that in short order and back home to put all away and clean house. I just put my third load of laundry in the washer, have taken my water fountain apart and cleaned it and brought the bedding in from the trailer to store in the house. I went for a long walk well a little longer than usual. It is very warm out today 60 degree's and I over dressed for my walk.
My hubby is home today and he has also been busy all day doing chores outdoors. The air outside smells of chimney smoke and wet leaves. I like that.

I must go now and finish what little I have left to do and then I am going to call my brother and then if time allows read some more of my current book COLD MOUNTAIN. It is a in depth book and if you do not care for prose you would not like it. On and on it goes very slowly but so moving in it's descriptiveness. This type of writing really slows me down and mellows me out. I sometimes nod off.
Later.
