It's Apple Orchard Time!

We went to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard near our house today and picked up some Honey Crisp Apples, apple spiced doughnuts, apple turnovers, and caramel apples. We typically go to the orchard six or seven times during the fall (about every weekend) and we even get our pumpkin there. It is a nice drive. Buddy likes a slice now and then too.

School has started

School has started, both in the role of staff and student for us. I’m taking my graduate classes in computer science and Amy is taking courses for her masters degree in education. Though out of college (as a student) for two years, I had already forgotten how hard it is and the number of nightmares generated (going to school without pants, forgetting assignments, etc.). I don’t know if we will be making it up to the cabin again this year with the business of work and school. It took me 3 days to finish a reading assignment for one class.

We re-carpeted Buddy’s cage. She now has a rubber mat and a thick plastic backing around the side and back of her cage. The backing will prevent her from kicking do-dos and other stuff against the walls and into the carpet along the wall. We have a new camera that also takes short video clips, so we may need to take a few new videos of Buddy.
