Fall is SO Beautiful!

 Things are turning brown,

and the leaves are starting to yellow...

but it's beautiful in its own way.

It was a little foggy the other morning

when Kyle and Bear went on their walk.

They walk down to the pig barn

to feed them,

and then down the "road" to the garden.

And then up the "road" (the split in

the trees) up to our "house" and then

over to the equipment pad

and back down the trail and to their house.

It makes a nice walk!

(It's a quarter mile between our houses...)

Afterwards, Bear needed a nap.

He has discovered he can jump up

onto Kyle's bed....

Little stinker!

I was at the farm the other evening.

The sky was so gorgeous!

The Pied Piper and his little followers.

The garden is down on the right....
The tomatoes are looking amazing!
Just in time for a frost this weekend.
Sigh.

I brought Beau out for a play date with Bear.

Bear is now BIGGER than Beau.

Yesterday I went down and got a bunch

of tomatoes.

The pumpkins.

And the last of the spaghetti squash.

(I have 9 or 10 in the kitchen sink

getting ready for processing,

these are just not quite ripe...)

As good as it gets for

"decorating" around here...

Ok, I also hung our little skeleton.

And I finally remembered to take Kyle's 

Tin Man up to his house yesterday!

The gnomes are in his strawberry bed.

But I got distracted and forgot to take

a picture. (Found a strawberry!)

It was REALLY windy yesterday so I

propped the Tin Man in the corner to

keep him from blowing away.

He stuck there all night!

YEA!

And now, I'm off to process spaghetti

squash, honey nut squash (turns out that's

the kind of "butternut" I grew! We bought

a few more at the farmer's market in Hays

last weekend...)

And then I might make a batch of

pumpkin cookies.

We'll see.

I have to teach tonight and then it's my

Louisiana class this weekend.

Plus we may get a frost Saturday night,

so sometime in there I need to get down

there and cut all the stems on the

big pumpkins.

And pick the last of the tomatoes.

I'll just give all the cherries to the pigs.

Kyle and I ate some yesterday and they

have a weird, slightly fermented tasted.

Ugh.

Plus I'm over cherry tomatoes.

Hahaha.

We have 3 tiny watermelon that won't

have time to ripen, so those will go

to the pigs as welll.

(I LOVE having pigs!!!)

Better get busy!
