Farm Animals Abound...
The pumpkin patch was a hoot - we saw a young steer, a pig in the mud, ducks and geese, a llama, a horse and teeny tweeny pygmy goat babies that were only about the size of a small dog...they kept bleeting and were just about as cute as they could be...we are 'so city', I drove the Miata w/ the top down and we wore sandals - into the pumpkin patch which was filled with stickers...I suppose in time we'll figure out how to blend in with locals, but we obviously aren't from around here...still, we are both enjoying living out here, and now that a cool front has blown thru, its really quite nice being outside...
The Ride for the Roses is this weekend, there'll be 5000 bicyclists all over the city and road ways...very colorful...I doubt I'll see Lance or anyone famous, but then I'm also not really standing in the streets looking for them either...still, I have on my LiveStrong shirt to support the day...
The UT game was fun, I think Bob Stoops is getting a raw deal on offical calls - the Oregon game and now this game had some REALLY questionable calls, but you know what? OU has kicked UT's butt for so many years, that I can't feel too bad about the calls...I'll take the win and enjoy the day...
I got up early, still dark, and when I looked out, our elderly neighbor who lives behind our house was furiously watering her plants w/ her garden hose...I was surprised anyone else was up while it was dark, but there she was...keeping things green...it was nice...I keep seeing Giant Swallowtail butterflies floating thru our yard, I wonder if she has some plants they are attracted to...still, it was an amusing way to start the day...
