Sarah was at Sycamore Springs park the other evening, visiting with Mom. The new flowers around the entrance to the park were so pretty that we had to get some pictures. I just happened to have my camera. Sarah took the pictures, except for the ones she is in, of course.

We had a tragady here today, Sarah Beth had her pet rat in her plastic ball rolling around the house and the dog got in the house unnoticed. He has been dying to get ahold of the rat ever since we got it and he saw is his chance. While we were outside he managed to get the lid off the ball and we had to bury a dear friend.

We only had her for about 3 weeks and she was a sweet little thing. Her name was Luna. Her favorite place was inside your shirt next to your skin. That could get a little prickly at times too.

It was not a pretty picture around here when it happened and for a couple hours after so we will probably replace her in the near future.

Glad you enjoyed the walk. We'll do it again, when the leaves have turned. Don't forget to bring a nice warm jacket.

It's a beautiful morning! Come go for a walk with me. The dogs are eager and ready. Lets find out whats around the bend.
Sarah Beth and a friend made this fall decoration. Terry grew the pumpkin and squash.

I love the morning glory flowers. They remind me of walking out the long driveway to catch the school bus on cool fall mornings.
The little dog thinks he is big enough to whip the big dog and tries to let him know it all the time. Whiskers just thinks he's a misquito bugging him.
Lets stop and and smell the last of the honeysuckle flowers. I love that smell!

The thistle sure makes a pretty flower but oh..... beware of what is left when the flower fades.
Feel the breeze in your hair and the morning sun on your face? Well..... you will have to hold your nose until we get past this picture. The neighbor just came back from the turkey farm with a load of furtilizer.
We have to pull a few seed heads as we walk along, thats just goes with walking along a country road.

All the dogs look back at me and say, "Whats the hold up? Come on, lets run!"
Every body has to stop and smell every little hump in the road, I wonder what it tells them.
Is this pretty blue flower called Chickory? I know it is a pretty one.

This is what the neighbor has growing under their maple trees. Maybe that is what I need to do in my yard. I haven't had grass in my yard for years.
It is an ivy and it looks like it is doing great in their yard. At least I wouldn't have to mow it.
This is my favorite stretch of the walk. Especially when the fall colors are showing.
On the home stretch finally. Just around the bend is home and breakfast.

This is where I would like to end up but..... there's work to do. We'll have to save that for another day.

Growing like weeds! I am hand feeding all three of them 4 times a day. We named them Coda, Pepper and Star. Mom and Dad bird are "doing it" again! Please Stop!!!
Sarah Beth is cleaning here room, again. It is a milestone in her life. Out are all the stuffed animals, Barbie dolls, Brat dolls, plastic horse figurines, coloring books, pet rocks, legos, baby dolls and all that 'kids' stuff. Awwww........ I miss my baby girl already! She sorted through her clothes and we have 5 garbage bags stuffed full of clothes to take to the shop! She desperately wants to remodel her room and I don't blame her a bit, it is a desperate situation. I wish we could bring someone out tomorrow to start on it but........
Terry worked late tonight, he made it in about 7:00. Just in time for porkchops, bisquits and gravy, fried potatoes and corn. They dug 16 post holes today and set 16 posts in concrete for a building someone hired them to build. Needless to say, he was wore out. Sis wanted me to help her clean in her bedroom so she cleaned off the table for me without being ask! Amazing how thoughtful they are when they want something.
