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!
