2 HORSES

when we bought the new rig lar thought oh it would be nice to have a horse on the wind defector so he asked the sales man about getting one...brian the sales person had never heard of anyone wanting one or getting one but he was willing to ask about getting one..so he contacted his sales rep at open range and between the two of them lar finally got one in the mail...so now he is a happy man cause now instead of 1 horse he now has 2.. so today we were at the fire station working out and he decided that as long as were going to be inside would be a good time to give the defector a bath and mount the horse on it..so that is what we did after church today...now instead of following one horse's a--- down the road it will be 2..ahhaahhaah fall has finally going out the window..the temps have gotten colder and we started up the wood stove the other day especially when it was so damp..felt good and still does...leaves are almost gone from the trees and have been blown around the yard..so I guess it is time to think about the next season.. oh don't you think he looks like the killroy was here cartoon!!!!!!

STUCK

ok so who gets stuck in the mud!!!!! oh it isn't me!!!!!!! lar wanted to mow around the pond above the house and the next thing i know he is back and i don't hear the lawn mopwer running...i ask him what wrong thought maybe he drove it in ahahahaha.. oh he says just stuck..so off we went with the bulldog and i pulled him out of the mud...sorry no pictures as i forgot the camera...but at least it wasn't me who got MY lawn mower stuck in the mud.. great fall day right now..but suppose to turn this afternoon to several days of rain and the possiblity of snow flurries...just in time for halloween...

NIGHTLY VISITOR

we keep a hav-a-hart trap set on our back porch to catch us chipmuck and squirrels as we know some of them are finding their way into the garage and house...they can do damage so we like to catch them then lar takes them to the woods or even to the pond where he gives them swimming lessons...last night in the middle of the night I kept hearing this clink and the rattle of the trap thinking oh good we have caught us another one of those pesky creature

...lar is up early as he was going to go turkey hunting but came back to bed as it was raining out and was kinda on the miserable side...then it was time to really get up for the morning..out he goes to the dining room saying you'd never guess what is in the trap..oh a squirrel..nope he says better than that..it has a black strip donw it's back and also some white..oh my I say a SKUNK now what are we going to do with that..after some discussion it was decided to cover the cage and take it away..so lar got an old army poncho that he could also attach a pole to carry it away with..so off he went with it... we were lucky that it didn't spray it's scent not sure if the reason was because it couldn't raise it's tail or what but we were lucky that it didn't leave any scent around the house or even get lar.. just one more exciting thing about living in the country you just never know who or what might come calling in the night..

HAPPY HAPPY SQUIRRELS

this year our walnut trees are really loaded and when they fall they sure make a mess of the lawn...they are not the easiest nuts to crack then pick out the nutmeat..soooo we usually just take them to the wood for the squirrels to do with what they want..but most years it is only a few buckets of them to handle.. but this year that is a different story..we have decided to load up the bulldog and take the nuts way back in the woods to make all the squirrels out there to be very HAPPY.. our apples are also producing like crazy...have also taken several loads of drops to the woods for the wild life to eat...been making apple sauce--pies--muffins--bread--just to name a few things we have done with the apples along with eating them..we need to keep the dr's away ahhaahahha.. so it has been a very productive fall..

as you can see the bulldog is full we think at least three bushels of those things
