turkey stock, the winding down of summer

remember my turkey i roasted last week?
well it's remains are in the stock pot
slowly simmering into stock for canning
the house is beginning to smell like fall a bit because of it
things are slowly winding down, leaves are all over the driveway, and they have been even before irene came through.
i still have odds and ends to finish up.....
budgies need to be reintroduced (mrs fezziwig and emma were trying to fight to the death so mrs fezziwig was removed, and is in a separate cage)
caulking needs to be done- some trees will be pulled down
potatoes bought and stored
more wood added as well as a tank of backup oil
possibly that generator and lp tank as well
the woodstove still needs to be cleaned, ditto on the chimney
i would like to make window quilts too if i can get to it before the bad part of the winter
at least for the north wall in the studio
and if at all possible i would like to get my studio back in shape and get back to work....
it seems i am just drifting a lot lately

the research continues on food processors, chamber sealers and other stuff i need in the kitchen.....as does the back and forth on where to PUT the kitchen....
so many decisions to be made and i can't juggle it all in  my head

meanwhile life and the seasons go on.
