I got my Pfizer booster shot last week. I didn't quite have the strong reaction that I got last time - no fever this time, and bad headache and joint pain weren't as severe as I remember from January. I was down and out for the whole next day, but am feeling fine now!
We have done some other things to boost our spirits up here on the hill this Fall.
We were gifted a rooster. He is not the brightest of all birds - it took 3 days of me stuffing him through the door of the chicken house twice a day for him to figure out how to do it on his own - but he is quite gentle and has a lot to say.
The black walnut tree in the chicken yard was well endowed this year. I have picked up half a trailer load one time and half a tractor bucket full another. It needs to be done again.
The hens are laying quite well. I found this enormous egg last week:
When I cracked it open, it had 2 yolks!
Besides being great layers (we get almost 3 dozen eggs weekly from our 5 hens), the hens also seem to be good excavators. They scratched such deep holes in the dirt near their door, that it took 4 layers of stones to get them closer to the opening so it wasn't so hard to go in and out. Luckily we have no lack of big rocks to use.
L volunteered to help out the band in a couple of competition parades last week. She has also been really busy with the Fall theater production, AND spent the night at the hospital last week for a sleep study (the sleep apnea has been corrected - hallelujah!)
J has been home from YSU for 2 separate weekends. Most recently, she came home last weekend to take in the Renaissance Festival. It was an interesting visit, and she went back to her dorm afterwards with a reproduction sword.
