It's Just a Flesh Wound

WARNING I AM BLOGGING AN ACCIDENT - THERE WILL BE A PHOTO OF THE WOUND. SKIP THIS POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT. 

Starting with this photo so FB will grab it 
for a preview rather than the wound. 

Michael was over at KC's cutting trees today when I got a call from him. 

"I need you to bring a compress and get over here now." 

"What?" 

"Get over here now. Bring a compress."

Allie and I ran over. Michael had "tagged" himself with the chainsaw. 


This is the day I discovered one can go 90mph on local highways and "no passing" is just a suggestion. I mentioned to Michael I was going to get a ticket and he said, "Good. They'll give you an escort." 

We headed to the ER for stitches. They thought he may need surgery, but a CAT scan revealed his knee cap had stopped the blade and protected his ligaments and tendons from damage. 

Yes, he has chaps. Now he wears them. 


Frosty Morning with Millie

 Millie is a year old. She LOVES chasing her ball in the yard. 

We are trying to get as many play times in as possible this fall - the winter months can be long. 



WELL....I'd say this is about as late as I can wait to harvest beets. The books say to wait until through some frost.

Do it again, do it again, Mom!
