OUCH!!!!

Today we heard this loud thud on the window and found this pretty little woodpecker on the ground . Bob picked him up and put him in a tree so the cats wouldn't get him. He was there for a few minutes, then flew off.

Neighbor Kitties

Every morning these girls are on the deck, waiting for breakfast. The gray & white and black & white are sisters and the yellow & white is mama. While mama is scared of us the other two are just as sweet and friendly as can be.

Mimi

Mimi loves to get outside and she pays no attention to mere humans who might be calling her. If she could talk I'm sure she would say....Just Leave Me ALONE!!!

Birdhouse Gourds

More of Debbie's creations. I love these little gourds, and can't wait until next year to plant some in my garden. The paint colors she chose are what makes them so darn attractive that everybody falls in love with them. Anyway.... she hung these all around mom's yard, after hearing that some of mom's friends wanted to "steal" a few.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before some of the pretty painted birdhouses disappeared.

Luckily the culprits ~

were caught on camera!!!

Bob got the rock up far enough to install the pellet stove....just in time!

Today was

"kinda" sunny

and

"kinda" rainy

Celebrate

Autumn!

The Family Room

Bob starting another BIG project.

Just a few more.....

VISITORS

We looked out the window and saw these two in our back yard. Bob jumped in the truck and went in search of their owners, but nobody knew where they came from. We hope they found their way home before they became a midnight snack for the COYOTES.

DAHLIAS

We finally made it to the dahlia farm ~ even though it was the end of the season, the flowers were beautiful.

We come home with a list for next year
