great pumpkin day...


Trying to keep up with all the fun things to do in the fall is a hard thing to accomplish!!! But today, we headed out to an annual "harvest fest weekend" to take in the sights, foods, and goodies. Sadie and Abbie, Catie and Bruce... Kassy and Reagan.... (and Danny and me!!!). It was an easy walk up to the event, so, we dressed for the weather and headed out...
I always have to take photos of these two when I can get them together!!!!!
It was just the perfect fall day. Bright sun and blue skies, and the best part... going on a week day, where the crowds were not quite so large. Saturday, this place will be so crowded, it would be hard to see or enjoy any of it (in my opinion)......
So many talented crafts people... I loved these little doggie bird houses (too bad they were so expensive .. or I might have bought one)... But she had almost every breed and they were neat to look at.....
Along with the crafts, were foods of all kinds. Some to eat there and some to buy and take home. I just love the country feel of it all.. and so glad to be a small town gal!!!!
More pumpkins Danny boy!!!!!
Some to buy and take home.....
and nothing doing, Reagan just had to pick a few more for home. He loves pumpkins!!!! (Kass almost "dreads" driving by pumpkins, because Reagan thinks they should all come home with him!!!)













We even came across a "scare crow dog".. which Danny found to be rather interesting. He's not afraid of "fall/Halloween" things!!!!











Speaking of which... it is that time of year once again.... and two little ones I know were looking forward to going out "trick or treating".....


Reagan, dressed as a "lumberjack".. and made a call at Meme and Beepa's house!!!! 



Then Daddy dressed up too, and they went around the neighborhood. He doesn't look too happy in this photo, but I think he just wanted to get going. Certainly didn't take him long to figure out this, knock on the door and get treats thing!!!!!
Ab dressed up as the "mad hatter's daughter".. (one of the new Disney things)... she sure looked cute in her little outfit as well..... I didn't get to see the kids trick or treating as I had to teach dog classes.. but I'm happy that Kass took these photos!!!!!
And catching up on things around the farm. Poor Livy, has just discovered Titus... and it has taken her days to come to terms with this turtle thing that swims around the tank. She's so funny, and is fine if he is "resting" but when he begin to swim, she is not so happy about that. She barks at him and runs away from the tank... this photo she's finally getting brave, and though it's kind of funny, I'll be glad when she can make her peace with this!!!!
Old Silver, enjoying the last of the pasture grass... we'll be cutting this section off soon, so it can rest up for spring. But I'll miss seeing the horses right outside the house windows.... (can't see them when they are kept close to the barn)....
And since it's the end of the month, we had another check in trip down to NEADS with Danny. I love the fall, but when it rains, it's such a damp cold rain.... and it's just the kind that gets into your bones. Pretty enough... but yucky too....

The new client house is really coming along. We see big changes each time we go.....
But the rain doesn't stop the work, so after we chatted with Dave for a bit.. we headed into the city. It's a good idea because sometimes the weather can make the environment seem different. Dave thought it would be fun to work with Dan himself, and it gave me a chance to step back and watch them work. 
We walked the city, and then popped into the hospital to warm up, have some lunch, and play on the elevators.... all went well.. Danny is doing so very well with his training....












Quick stop at the train station... Danny is beginning to think all of this is old hat!!!! And Dave is beginning to talk about when his time will come to be turned back in. (already)...



Seems time is going by as fast as the month have gone by. I try and keep up the blog, and realize just how quickly the weeks and months fly by... and now we look at November, and the holidays.... oh my!!!!
