Progress isn't always pretty

So, first thing this morning I got begrudging help peeling apples for a batch of apple pie filling. It's supposed to sit and create juices overnight before canning; doing it first thing this morning meant that I could get it canned this evening – ✅.

Next it was time to 'tutor' Chuckie, which didn't go as smoothly as everyone involved would have liked. Let's just say that it's been a long, miserable day for kitty, but we think he'll make it. Our tackroom will probably never be the same again, though. (I decided to spare you the photo I took of the bloody mess. ðŸ˜³)

After that Rick picked up Brian, we got the camper off the pickup, Rick finished mowing the upper pasture and cleaned up a bunch of clutter beside the garage while I did laundry and dishes, and I exercised Lance. The teenager settled right back into his habitual recalcitrant attitude, more fun than a barrel of monkeys (not).

So progress has been made in spite of ourselves, and to reward you for enduring the report, I'll share the photos of the sky I took on September 7, in the order I took them. It was a spectacular show!
















That's all for today (and the 7th) from . . .

You have the best sky pics ever Michelle. If it is any help, I had a skunk spray in my tack room and it did eventually fade. Hope Lucky Chuckie is doing better today. Poor guy, what happened?

Wow, what an absolutely fabulous bunch of sunset photos! It was pretty spectacular last night, wasn't it? Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos with us.

Theresa, that's encouraging about the smell. At least the floor is concrete and can be scrubbed.

Thanks, Mokihana; these photos were actually from over a week ago.

Thanks, Jeanne; I do love photography as a medium!
