Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-Treat

The chickens got a pumpkin and some broccoli.

The two Buff Brahmas are low in the pecking order

and have to wait until the

other chickens are finished eating.

Sometimes chickens can be so mean.

Today I raked the path all around the 3 acre fence line.

There will be a new batch of leaves

covering up the paths in a week or two.

Raking is good exercise for me and it is enjoyable being out in the forest.

Have a fun Halloween!

I should have been outside raking leaves.

But instead I made oatmeal cookies.

First Wood Fire This Year!

So nice to be warm and cozy when it is cold and wet outside.

I see chickens out there...

The girls have found something to eat.

Ah, I see, the last of the watermelon.

  

Looks like the girls are starting to molt?

The propane fellow showed up with his big truck

and filled up the tanks.

Wouldn't want to run out in the Winter

especially when the power goes out like it did a

couple of weeks ago.

Wood fire, propane or electricity.

Nice to have choices.

Solar would be good too.

Tom would like that.

Didn't work outside today.

I'm so bad.

Late October Rain

One of my favorite Halloween decoration

that dates from

when my children were young.

Probably purchased this happy pumpkin

scarecrow man sometime in the middle 1980's.

He brings his smiley face and hangs around every October.

He is a cheerful fellow!

If you look closely you can see rain on the deck,

so if it rains some more today and really wets down the forest

and reduces the fire danger we might be able to fire up the wood stove.

Hope so! It's chilly.

The chickens don't mind the rain at all.

Looks like a lot of oak leaves to rake.

Lots of leaves yet to fall.

Sigh...ahhh...I think I would like to curl up there too and take a nap.

Morgan on her bed of many mattresses!

This morning the IT fellow came out to check out why my internet

connection has been running slow, hanging up

and at times losing its internet connection.

He replaced a piece of equipment and the problems went away!

It is nice when pages will load...snark, snark...

New Roof Ready For Winter

The oak leaves are falling

and beginning to collect on the roof and the tops of the gutters.

Morgan likes her deck!

The chickens would like to get on the deck.

But they are too fat to fit through the bars and too lazy to fly over the top.

At least not yet.

No chickens on the porch anymore!

Genevieve is all ready for Halloween!

Soooo cute!

Happy Halloween!

My favorite holiday!

Smiles!
