We've spent a lot of time at our farm this autumn. We had a farm party complete with hot dogs & marshmellows roasted over an open fire and then watched the kids race around playing hide-n'-seek while trying to avoid running through cow-patties in the dark, armed merely with flashlights. (Somebody's cows ventured into our farm yard earlier in the week of the farm party and I was "dismayed" to discover that they don't use pooper-scoopers for cow deposits!)
Later in September, the girls have enjoyed bouncing around while riding in the 1957 Land Rover after they helped pick the potato harvest. (We had blight this year so our potato crop has been affected.)
We've been busy getting ready for Halloween. The girls did most of the Halloween decorating this year. My dh strongly
dislikes tolerates having the
Christmas Halloween tree in the hallway for a full 30+ days before Halloween so we decorated it just for him. (He knows that this tree will be following him into the nursing home & we will decorate it seasonally for him there too!) I am so glad that I got those glass decorations on sale following Halloween last year!
Meanwhile, I've been working up a storm, including evenings and weekends on family law files. It has been an exhausting autumn but we've got a lot done!
You might be even more "dismayed" to hear that Texans use those cow patties for Cow Chip throwing contests and town fairs. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are doing well, hope you get a little case file break soon.
A farm party... oh, that sounds like such fun! Any more marshmallows? ;o) LOVE that photo at the top...*sigh*... The light is wonderful. Very glad to see you back here posting, in spite of very busy days. The Halloween tree is so sweet! Not sure I could do a tree that far in advance of Christmas, must as I do like Halloween... LOL! Happy Days to you all ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how bumpy that ride was!
ReplyDeleteMcMGrad89 also indicated that they have cow patty bingos. Eeww! See: http://www.ehow.com/list_6710788_rules-cow-patty-bingo.html
ReplyDeleteA farm too? How do you keep up with it all? Sorry about your potato crop but how cool to have land to farm on. THe girls probably have a blast there.
