Seasons

Fall in all its Glorious Splendor is upon us! This is a photo of our maple tree in the back taken two days ago.

This is a picture of it taken yesterday. . . the winds came and in one night we lost more than half its leaves. Good thing for photography!

The hills behind us are shades of orange and gold and brown and a little green. The cows were out two days ago.

Then yesterday we had three deer that stayed all day long and into the evening. Four different times I spotted them, lazily finding grass and wandering through the trees.

Littlebuddy has had a busy week. Our ward (church congregation was divided as we had so many people last Sunday,) so the 12 and 13 year old boys got together at Ben's house for one last party. Today he's at a a birthday party for one of his best friends. Last night our youth group went to hear a rabbi teach us about Judaism. It was interesting and we had a good discussion all the way home.Here he's drawing after completing his homework.

MyGirl here enjoying facebook. She continues to work on school work. She is sad her garden in the back died so she spent one afternoon this week pruning bushes in the front yard. She was made for everything domestic.

Bigbuddy here working on his on-line classes, while eating. The boy is hollow, I'm pretty sure. He has another ultrasound tomorrow. May this be the last one ever! We hope it will finally show what we suspect, but I've been disappointed before, so we're in the hoping and praying phase.

I've been the chef, chauffeur, personal shopper, secretary, counselor, nutritionist, nurse, house-cleaner and laundress this week.  Nothing new. I did manage to squeeze in some creative projects and that always keeps life interesting. (Working on Christmas, but feeling behind already!?! I should have done more this summer.) I'm also teaching some stamping techniques to a few ladies next week, and they are scrapbookers, so I  hope they'll enjoy making this page. I just can't say enough about how much I love the Cricut cartridges CTMH puts out.  Making these ornament shapes was so easy!!
