another great day on the prairie...

having another tough day...

but its still a wonderful fall like time here...

the walnuts could start falling anytime now...

Craig didn't have to work until tonight...

so he hung out with me for awhile...

got some photos while we were out...

DH started painting...

swallow tail caterpillars have pretty much stripped my parsley...

I was going to harvest some of it this weekend...

guess I waited one day too long..

one lone pepper so far...

there's the old man on the ladder...

I painted one small strip...

I cannot work over my head...

and the kid actually combed his hair today...

I almost fell over and grabbed the camera to document it...

he went shopping at the outlet mall this afternoon...

got some cool stuff for him and for me...

he bought dumb stuff like clothes, shoes and a couple books...

but he got me some Halloween stuff...

yeah, he knows me well...

I will post that stuff later on when we put it up...

have a great night!

welcome to fall...

just a real quick post to bring you all up to speed...

picked tomatoes again yesterday morning...

this was the pickings...

our cold front came through with just a tiny bit of rain...

but it got down to 43 last night and hasn't hit 60 yet this morning...

had the windows open yesterday, but closed them right after dark last night...

wore a hoodie sweatshirt and jeans yesterday...

layering this morning...

DH got up and headed for another gallon of paint to work on the deck...

seems he may only have another couple of weekends free before the harvest begins...

it is really starting to change around here...

but still too early to do the fall clean up before winter thing...

and way too early to start decorating for fall or Halloween...

that won't happen here until Oct 1st...

but its coming on fast...

it won't be long...

has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet???

I haven't...

probably should while there are good sales going on...

we have cooler temps here for awhile and a chance of more rain later in the week...

we could sure use some more...

ok, got to go...

got a kitten in the trash can...

;)
