first day of fall...

We're in for a good apple season... the trees are loaded and they all look like this. I can't wait for some good apples... pies... crisp... yup, it's getting into my time of year...

Met up with some of the ladies from church to pick apples... this coming weekend is the applefest and these apples will be going into pies that will be sold at the festival. The orchard donates the apples.. we bake the pies and then they are sold with the monies going to all sorts of good causes... it's a fun project....
to quote a line from Baby Boom... "that should be enough to make a pie".....
The orchard is getting all dressed up for apple season and the festival....
Fall decorations are just as pretty as the ones at Christmas time........

Reagan came to play with me at the farm... I just love it when he comes... and it makes me so excited and happy to think that there's another little grand on the way. I hope they will always love coming and visiting at Baby and Papa's farm....
He was very happy to find this great pile of loam.... you know that he just has to get busy with his equipment and get it moved....
so much dirt.... so little time.....

After he had time in the pile he was ready to come, have a snack and refuel his equipment. Papa has an old brass fire extinguisher that will do nicely 
imagination... isn't it the greatest thing!!!!  We had a super fun day together... and I look forward to having many many more....
It's pretty easy to see who now runs the house... little Henry has moved right in and has shown all these cocker spaniels that he is the king.... Actually he and Livy are great friends, and the games they come up entertain me for hours....
but, I dare say... pounce .. has to be the favorite, and anyone that walks by is fair game... though for poor old Hunter and Trevor, it's not so fun.. being deaf they have no idea he's there and he can scare them nearly to death....
Livy loves it though and I think she makes it easy for him to catch her.....
He loves the dogs... I know it's cause he lived with Hallie and Ollie.... so being around black cocker spaniels, he feels right at home.....

Livy... checking things outside..... (you'd think we put big windows in just so they can see out better!!!!)
Kittens.... even a paper cup can be fun.... maybe there is some life lesson there....
