first fall weekend....

Reagan and I had a date this past week. Kass had a  doctor's appointment to attend to that would be easier if she could go herself. So, I popped down to watch Reagan. 

It was such a pretty day that we couldn't stay inside, so I had him hop into the stroller and we headed up town. 
We grabbed a bagel muffin and drinks and then headed over to the library. I thought it  might be fun to pop in on Kathleen and just see what was happening there. 

Little did I know all the fun things the library has to offer....who would have thought that super cool trucks would be on their list.  Reagan was delighted....
 

He happily played with the trucks and I got a chance to visit with Kathleen... pretty fun time for all of us if I do say so...
As we were leaving Reagan noticed the children's computer and ran right over to it... come listen he told me.... 

"You can hear my baby's heart beat if you want to".... 
having been to other doctor's appointments with Kass... Reagan has heard his sibling's heart beat a number of time and I guess this made him think of it...

so we listened to the heart beat!!!! (at least in his mind...)
Rory was hanging out with Kathleen today, but that really didn't interest Reagan... he sees dogs all the time!!!!

And so... fall is officially here... at least with the activities around town. The applefest certainly had a perfect fall day for their fun time...
There were several nice vendors... food... rides, apples of course.... Kass and Reagan came for the event....
It's easy to see where his interest is... with all that was going on.. nothing better than to climb on the tractor.... 
getting him was another matter!!!!!
Hugging a goat helped.....
But actually picking out your own pumpkin (and as many as you like) is what really got the tractor out of his mind... Reagan LOVES pumpkins... they have several at home already, but nothing doing.. there are always more to be found....
Kass managed to get away with just two this time.... by the time Halloween arrives they will probably have their very own pumpkin patch!!!!
And what's fall without this!!!! it's wood stacking season again... this year, I'm a little ahead of the game... getting Rick to drop wood every few weeks and trying to keep it all stacked...
One bay in the shed is already done... this goes into the second bay....
This little hoppy toad was happy to keep me company, trouble was I had to be careful not to step on him... finally I just moved him to the rocks so I could step and not worry. I suppose he's after any bugs that might come into the wood pile..... but after today there wont be a pile for him to worry about.

Love seeing the shed filling up......
Ed's been doing some finish work on the underneath deck area. We don't want the doggies going up under the deck on top of the retaining wall. So Ed's put up this lattice work... that will keep them out of there. I just had visions of them up on that wall and someone jumping or falling off and breaking something... 
It looks nice too and makes a storage area if we need one... now, just get the stair put on off the deck and this project will be done!!!! It seems to be taking so long, but we do it as time permits....
Things are beginning to have that fall look.... the nights are cooler and the days are getting shorter...


this big full moon reminds me that the seasons have begun to change...
