Opposites: National Donut Day & A Farm Outing

1. National Donut Day!

I'm being honest, and just a little sad, too, that I did not eat a donut today. The way I had it figured, someone out there would compensate for me. Haha. I borrowed an Instagram shot from my dear friend Ali M., and a capture of Willie & Phil from Duck Dynasty in honor of this minute yet sugar-filled holiday.

donuts with duck dynasty?

Friday, other than being Nat'l Donut Day, didn't have much else to offer outside of that. Most of the things we'd had scheduled for the day didn't stick, which is as much a relief as it is a bad thing, since the numbers won't build if they don't happen. I took the opportunity to get caught up on the rest of the things I had scheduled for next week, so hopefully Monday will take flight without much hassle.

And then....
Farm time!
Mike & Becky took me out to Jen & Jordan's farm to pick up the trailer we'll use to officially move me tomorrow. It's been so long since I've been to a local farm; it was a breath of fresh air [literally, but also mentally] that I'd so badly needed. Everything I loved seeing on some of the farms back home was here, plus an adorable dog....

[I didn't take any pictures while we were there, but I went digging and found some that almost do justice to what I actually saw..]


gardens in full beauty... pretty much what i saw,
only j&j's was definitely better ;)

And their dog! Again, I didn't take either of these pictures, but it's the same type of pup, with the same gorgeous heterochromia iridum as this one. I wish I'd had my camera to capture his amazing features, but for what it's worth, this aussie shepherd again almost meets what I saw.

Ah. So adorable! On top of the multiple plots of blooming plants, a garden by the house itself and acres of plain old serenity if you ask me... there were goats, baby chickens and some sheep. We didn't have to travel to the end of the earth to find this escape either; I have to say I could've stayed all evening, just for the ambience.

... But we didn't. Haha. We hitched up the trailer to Mike's truck and headed back to Northside, where we ordered in from NYPD Pizza in Northside and finished the day just relaxing.

Tomorrow is the official moving day.
See ya there.
