Hello November!
It might be Monday, and close to the end of it at that, but I'm not in serious mode yet this week. Well, as far as business is concerned.
We were discussing candidates for tomorrow's election earlier. Yes, we actually do that around here. Turns out we plan to vote, whodathunkit? Up at the top of our criteria list was, you guessed it, support for environmental protection and related topics. This provided a lot of conversation. One of our state candidates actually has not only solar panels on her house, but a rain barrel and compost heap too! I'm totally voting for her.
Also, I wish we had this guy running for office around here because he's so entertaining. More power to the Rent 2 Damn High party!!
In other news, we messed around with the website a lot a few days ago. A whole bunch of pages were added to break up the monotony and help clarify what all goes on here. I'm not sure it actually does that, but it's looking a lot better. Although I am sad that our nifty headers got screwed up. Perhaps they'll get fixed sometime soon. The replacement headers are okay. Picking the best font was also quite a decision. Since we recently messed around with new fonts for business cards, it would've been awesome to find something that matches those... but alas, nothing was quite right. Another time for that too, perhaps.
Been playing around with a new project too! I am looking forward to getting a little bit of time to flesh it out.
This morning I was looking into Blender. It's a 3D modeling program... but I was looking into it because it also apparently does video editing, which is something I need but can't pay for. So open source to the rescue. However, it will have to wait until the holiday break because the UI is totally different from the programs we currently use. I am happy to see that it probably does all the stuff I would use 3ds Max for. I'm not sure about those snaps, and I don't have a numpad, but I'll not think about it for at least a month.
Frost appeared today for the first time as far as I know. The volunteer sweet potato that took up residence in the former squash patch did not like the frost in the least. I harvested as many raspberries as possible this morning. Yes, we still have raspberries coming, but that probably won't last much longer. I also picked some swiss chard, which seems unaffected by the weather. Kale is still going strong and threatening to take over the former pea patch. Whatever tomatoes we had are toast of course, but I got a bunch of tiny vine-on tomatoes on Sunday, um I mean yesterday. And we got no eggs today, so maybe the other three hens are molting finally. Pepper molted already, and she's amazingly soft. She also hasn't laid an egg in at least a month. But hey, as long as they continue to eat our leftovers it's all good. mmm, wheat bread crust and swiss chard stems. yummy. What am I saying, those are some of the most pampered chickens around.
I think that's all the topics for today. Just like our little office, it rambles around without making much sense... but hopefully it'll find its way...
