Hump-day sneaks in again.

We had another beautiful day-lots of sunshine and perfect temperatures. After doing my morning chores and getting breakfast out of the way I went outside to pick another bucket of crab apples -while DH worked on the pump at the pond,it gets clogged up from "gunk".

I had gotten my bucket 3/4 full when as I looked down ,searching for those little red treasures I had let go of a little limb and it whammed me right in my right eye. O MAN - it hurt sooooo bad. It took my breath and it was all I could do to just hang onto the tree to keep me from hitting the ground. It really scared me too, because my eyes are so important to me. After a few minutes , I calmed down and wondered if I had killed my eyeball , but I did not feel any blood -just plenty of tears flooding my cheeks , so I closed that eye and searched with the good eye to find enough crab apples to finish my bucket.

I headed into the house and gathered my utinsels to work up the little crabbey apples - OR- maybe that was me that was crabby by now???? :)  I did manage to get them all worked up and in a pot and on the stove with the one eye and the tears were starting to slow down now , so I knew that was a good sign -but it sure made me think Of Mickie and the luck she has had over the last year.   : ) OF course one of my buddies always told me that I was just an accident waiting to happen.

I did manage to get the apples cooked and strained , but the final part had to wait because I had a counseling session. When you have the most wonderful counselor in the whole entire world -it is a gift that I do not take for granted . I have a very dear friend that always told me that I have a "different way of looking at things " from other people -and that is the way I feel about my counselor -she shines a light into the dark and confusing world of challenges that we all face each day.

After we left there we swung by our yougest son's house because I had fixed the crab apple jelly yesterday and had two jars not seal - so I shared it with them. They were the ones that bought me the sugar anyway - so I told him that they gave me white sugar and I brought him red sugar . He was so curious that he went to unwrapping the jar to see what I was talking about. LOL

DH asked him how the new electric furnace is working and they said great! Now, if we can all figure out how to pay the bill -since Emmett still cannot work because of his back. I wish there were ways to help young people when accidents like this happen.

By then dark was coming on so we boogied toward the house and I could not help but notice all of the beautiful Fall colors now. Mother Nature is really showing herself! When we got home I ran up and locked the chickens up and gave fresh water to the guinea pigs and fresh apples that I had picked for them. I took the cooked crab apples to  one of the pens of chicken and they loved that.

We had our supper of pinto beans and cornbread and onions and I fixed DH a chocolate cake . Trouble was that I was the one to take a piece and it gave me the indigestion. :(  I told DH that tomorrow should be a perfect day for us both as there is no running on our calandar and I hope nothing side-tracks either of us. I have high hopes of doing morning chores and feeding us and cleaning up the mess and running the vacuumn and a couple loads of clothes and HIDIING in the sewing room  -where as DH hopes to go deer hunting ? We will see how it all turns out. :)

I pray that all of my blog family is healthy and happy and that no body else sticks a "TREE" in their eye! LOL
