october is my favorite

first of all, check out this month's chicken:
























this photograph doesn't do it justice. it is the cutest, chubbiest, nicest brown chicken you ever saw.


saturday we had the mother of all yard sales -- wildly successful, utterly exhausting. m and i watched charlie wilson's war that night, but boo fell asleep (he was a hard-working salesman all day).

sunday we drove up to freeport and paused while i ran in to the patagonia outlet to see if they had any cute hiking boots like the ones bean got there last year. alas, no -- but look at the sweet spaniel who was waiting for me in the car:
























then we went for a walk at wolfe's neck state park. there's something about the fall that makes me want to live out in the woods in a yurt. a nice warm yurt. with some brown chickens in the yard.
