Fall fun!

What's fall without a good ol' romp in the leaves?

Of course, first you have to do the work of raking them.

She put Daddy to work, too, during the couple of minutes he had while his corn was unloading into his bin (which is the noise you hear in the background). But then he had to run.

Such fun it was!

Miss Purrkins joined in for a while, too, but I guess she got tired of being buried. ;-)

Grandpa had come with a load of corn, too, and made the pile even higher! I just love this next picture for some reason. I guess because she looks so "grown up"!

(Same day... different pants. But only because Grandma had gotten her a new pair which she tried on and then wanted to leave on. Should've put the pink ones back on, though... they didn't have cuffs to fill with leaves! lol )

A grand time was had, indeed!

Rain delay

I must once again interrupt our Random Fallness series, this time due to rain. Indoors. At Courtney's daycare. Fortunately, she was prepared, and all the babies were well-protected.

Random fallness, part 3

I thought I'd show you where I took some of the photos from. We have a pasture that's mostly on a pretty good-sized hill. At the top of the hill is this pile of rocks.

I was standing on the rocks.

Our yard is on the other side of this grove of trees. That's our silo up there.

You can see for miles from up on those rocks.

One of the first things new visitors say about our place is what a great view we have. It's true! (Right, Mark 'n Cindy?)

Quite a contrast in colors between the lush green alfalfa and the ripe corn in the field beyond it.

Wind towers have gotten to be pretty numerous along the countryside. Though they're quite a distance away, I can hear them some days.

These below are near a town about 7 miles away. (And yes, I took that pic from the rocks, too.)
