something creepy this way came...

the front bed...

our birthday boy...

waiting for the mowing to be done...

it looks great!...

we only had just over an inch of rain for September...

we have a frost warning tonight so this may be the last photos...

my two sons...

no to the good part...

 a tiny bit of clean up...

and now the fun...

a witch I bought at walgreens years ago...

Keith and his son, Malachi,  helping put it together...

Doug and Keith and grim...

the beginning of the grave yard...

scary stuff...

Malachi is afraid of Grim...

I had to show him its just a stick with a dress on...

but he loved the bats and rats...

and there you go...

all the guys worked on everything!...

it was so much fun seeing things through the eyes of a four year old...

I need to get me some of these grandkids...

for now, Malachi is good company...

and we ate chili when we were done and had a great day!...

but we are not done!....

you will just have to come back when I find the rest of it!...

Boo to you, my blogging buddies..

My baby is 25 today! Happy Birthday, Craig!

my little buddy...

is still my little buddy...

love you, guy!

transitions...

my supper...

turkey manhattan without the bread...

Craig's beef manhattan...

Steve isn't home yet so Craig and I ate together with the little heater plugged in under the table...

and after supper he drifted off to sleep on the couch...

and I was blog hopping and looked up...

the sun beams were moving across the field...

the grim reaper kept me company while I did what ever good blogger does...

ooh and awed at all the photo opts I had...

the darker clouds are being replaced slowly by blue skies...

and the golden rays trickling through were dancing in the tree tops...

and the happy leaves were waving like mad...

and grim was happy...

and I witnessed transitions...

summer to fall...

cloudy to clear...

day to evening...

and I wanted to share them with you...

just in case you missed the awesomeness of the moment...

hugs, everyone!

ok...58 is a bit cooler than I wanted today...

found my solar jack yesterday afternoon...

but no sun to power it up today...

we woke to rain early this morning and the threat is still here...

Craig and I went for a walk...

a bit nippy out in the open...

but the rain and wind are taking the leaves down...

and the nuts...

this is a hard hat area...

my van...

my poor, old, dead van...

it will be leaving soon...

and I will cry...

a true junkers van...

I have hauled so much with this thing...

it still runs...

but the electrical is toast...

could cause a fire...

so...

I gave $500 for it and only put a muffler and a couple tires on it...

drove it like a wild woman...

you know how it is garage saling...

and since it was already well used...

no problem hauling bricks, wood and junk...

I am going to miss it...

tiny leaves...

some mud puddles...

my mums...yeah!...

my favorite kind!...

they are telling me that it's going to 39 tonight...

that mean old weatherman...

he needs his mouth washed out in soap...

maybe tomorrow we can get the Halloween out...

hope your skies are clear...
