What a Monday! Increased exercise time to almost an hour now - I don't look any better but I'm surely sweating more often now. Yesterday the weatherforecasters began predicting a real cold front today - so I wandered around trying to get pictures of some things which might not make it through the night. Then I realized - well DUH -
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace Ecclesiastes 3 1-8

So no problems with a little frost - it is time! The problem with most of us - we try to keep things past their time.(so throw out that expired stuff in the refrigerator - just a hint). Enjoy what is in front of us now - don't worry about tomorrow but don't to hang on to yesterday. I'm good with the frost now. The picture including a blue blanket is our attempt to extend growing season for the tin can garden (OK OK so I am trying to hold onto the potential of a few more veggies!) I started to title it "Veggie Bed Being Put to Bed" but realized that was too corny even for me.
Next is the Buhlaland version of a spooky picture. "The Shadowrider" - didn't realize I was getting this shot until downloading the camera. It appears I am riding one of the goats while our dear Nubiana stared at me. No way I could ride one of our goats but based on the picture maybe I could be a new character - Shadowgoatrider - not a super hero character more of a cartoon character. Speaking of cartoons - I love the image from the internet, included for your amusement. Cat with human smile - creepy yet funny. It is chilly tonight and I'm more goofy than usual - it is Good!

Your shadow rider picture is kind of spooky...the shadow image kind of looks like the stereotypical figure of 'death"...and riding a goat, well, that too has all sorts of implications !
Anyway, your place is lovely and your goats look sleek and happy. I think there is something so right and wonderful about having sleek, well fed and happy animals.
Enjoy the Ecclesiastes too, I have come to appreciate it so much these last few years !
Love the pictures. The pansy just makes me smile. They always look "happy".
Shadowrider is creepy but cool at the same time!
We are under a freeze warning this morning! I don't think I am ready for this!
I love your pictures!
We planted pansies around our church on Sunday and I confess to being a HUGE fan. They always seem so cheerful!
Blessings!

KathyB - yes I overfeed most animals including the two legged ones around here! Brandi - we didn't get the frost after all my prep but I did find two tiny green tomatoes when we uncovered the plants this morning - now I'm hoping for a harvest!LOL
Lacy - you share my heart - pansies are like little happy faces and they survive the winter here very well. Thanks for coming by y'all!
Yes, it is getting cooler! I have moved my plants to the greenhouse. I love the shadow rider picture. What fun. Stay warm! Blessings, Kathleen
I just had to smile when I opened up your blog and saw that pansy smiling at me again!
OH, thank you so much for the link you left over at my place!!! Yes, I am going to enter! I wonder if the limo will stay with you so you can ride in warmth all day, lol!
Brandi - I'll be thrilled if you win! As I said - recreational shopping isn't my thing anymore but I admire the skillz and desire required to get into training for such an event (Y'all we are talking about Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving).Visit Lolo's Blog here to get the great back story! http://lolosblog-brandi.blogspot.com/2008/10/did-you-see-my-new-widget.html
*tee hee* I love the smiley cat, Linda Sue!
I love your little pansies... they remind me of my Grandmother.. she loved them too and would talk about what pretty "faces" they had-she said they look like littel men with moustaches!! LOL
I wanted to thank you for your sweet comments on my blog! You are so wonderful!
Blessings and thanks,
Lacy
