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...

;)

a good day...

laughing...

curly hair just like her mama...

very skeptical about my stories...

tried to take out the camera...

a very happy baby...

and pretty...

Craig keeping her awake to feed...

and after pooping 3 times today, it was nap time...

it was a very good day...

;)

what I did yesterday...

I got to play with this little girl...

Miss Amileeya...

and she is so stinkin' cute...

and this kid can fart and poop...

her mom had to work yesterday, so she came to visit for a bit...

her milk bumps are fading...

and she is growing so fast...

her dr's visit was good and they were happy with her...

shots the next time she goes...

I held her mom when she was this size, too...

amazing how they keep getting older and I don't...

;)

remember...

we will never forget...

taking a moment to pray for the families of the fallen...

and for the ones still fighting...

and our nation's leaders...

lawmakers...

and the ones who hit the streets every day protecting us...
