Morning Chore Smiles

I have to tell you, I am loving this weather.
50 degree mornings make me want to just skip from chore to chore.
Sweaters, sweatshirts, jeans, work gloves....
oh, I am cozy as can be.
The only thing better than Autumn weather,
is a fire in the fireplace while the dry leaves blow outside!

Here are a few smile-worthy moments from yesterday's chores....

Riding to the barn with my trusty sidekicks, Bobby and Hickory...


There's nothing better than a fresh drink of water from a super clean water tank!


"The Big Gulp" kitty style....






"Save some for me, Bobby!"


"Bed head"...piggy style...


Amanda with Becky's two new barn kitties...
BobOne and BobTwo...


Isn't Pete looking great these days???



Maddie got a new toy yesterday and was a little hesitant to take it into the pigpen.


Ginger and MaryAnn:  "Ooooooh, whats is this?" 


"Help!  Mom....do I have to share?"


Ginger: "How 'bouts I gives you a kiss....
then, can I has the toy?"

I love Bed Head Piggie Style, LOL! Nothing better than a change in the weather. I agree it is energizing.

Okay, I didn't put my sweatshirt on as I took the garbage to the curb. Now burr! It certainly is cooler in the mornings. I so enjoyed your pics this morning. I can't decide between Bobby drinking water or Maddy protecting his toy as to my favorite. Then look at Pete!! Wow, such a handsome boy!! Hugs!!
I just love Maddie and her pigs. How cute is she with her toy:-)

I love reading updates about Pete. HIs arrival to your farm in his awful state was the first post I read on your blog. And Maddie is such a loving dog. So sweet. Love all the pics.
Oh, my goodness! Pete is STUNNING. That ashy grey that looks positively velvety...

You guys have done fine work with him.
