Busy Week......

 We had 3 visitors the other morning. As you can see I wasn't a very good sneaker upper!!

 She hardly took her eyes off me. I did manage to get alittle closer.They were standing in the hay field south of the house.

 I didn't shoot him the red is a leaf that got in my way:)

 and then they were gone.

 Another messenger bag.

 I have put the pattern away I need to move on!!

 This is the first year that I entered pie in the contest at achievement days. My German Chocolate Pecan Pie took second place. Greg bought it back for me and it cost him plenty he didn't know that our DIL was bidding him up. LOL If I enter next year we will be watching her:) It is for a good cause so it was worth it.

 My Peaches and Cream didn't place but brought over $200.00 so that was nice. I was told it was very tasty too. It is Greg's favorite pie.

 My aloe bloom.

 The plant doesn't look so good in person. It takes it all summer to ajust to being outside and then it's time to come in. It came from Texas so I don't know why it can't take our heat. I think it's more the rain that gets it.

 Pretty Jade.

 And now the sad news... someone??? pulled the weed up in the back of Greg's pickup!!! I do think it is alittle strange that it was left there and not on the ground. It was like someone had read my post about it and knew I said " I thought I would find it laying on the ground by the pickup."  So they left in the box for me to find. When I asked a certain someone they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about he just said he was keeping his pickup clean:)

Oh lookie here there's grass growing in the same pickup box. I think flowers would look better........JMF

Sewing, and more.............

 I finished the last 2 crayon aprons I had cut out.I only have one box of crayons left.

 Another vintage button. I think it came off a coat if I can remember that far back!

 Deer camp complete with heater, popcorn, pan to pop it in, granola bars, cards, to name a few, you would think he would be gone for days!! To bad he got his deer the first day, an average 4 point buck. I'm sure John or Lucas will go sit one evening with Papa just to watch for deer while eating popcorn, and playing cards.

 Our new backyard visitor. As long as he stays on the wild side I will leave him scraps once in awhile.

 The little white church on the hill:) I took this picture from our yard. Love my camera!

 Lucas stayed with me on Sat while everyone else hunted. I got a lot of sewing done. The bag has a flannel baby blanket, burp rag and toy colt in it.

 taggies I need to get sewing up some of the fabric that has been here for to long.

 This was a flannel panel so there is a picture on each side. I just cut and folded so the ribbons are just on 3 sides. They are bright and cheerful so hopefully some baby will like them!

 These have a small fleece blanket and horse in a small kid friendly toy bag!

 Lucas played and did a few crafts!

 In school the kids made gingerbread houses out of cardboard boxes, so when he saw all the crayon boxes in the garbage he made one for Papa. That is papa and Lucas on one side......

 and Papa and Lucas in the deer camp camper!

 He made on for mom dad to and put candy kisses in them. We both kept very busy:)

 game cam possum in the back yard yuck!
Happy Thanksgiving!    JMF

Bags and Deer...............

 Made to smaller bags today.

 My view out the kitchen window. At first there was a rabbit trying to eat corn out of the wagon too. The deer chased it away.

They were out there for quite awhile. I might as well put the grill away we have barely used it this summer. It just gets in the way of the pictures!!..........JMF

A winner and a week in review.

 New members of the boys chicken family. So far 2 chicks hatched and a lot of eggs got eaten by something or Susie (the dog) no one knows for sure. Their is a hen setting now and the dog can't get in with her.

 School colors rug for the grade school library. Sarah found the fabric and I sewed it up for her.

 Fall calving is in full swing.

 kiss from mom

 Someone needs a haircut. This is Clyde from the famous horse duo Bonnie (Lucas') and Clyde (Johnny's).

 Last years fall calves wondering why we always drive past them.

 Me outstanding in the bean field. Yes I am standing at my full height of 5 feet 2 inches! I know I'm short. Once in awhile I stand on the step or two next to Greg so I can be as tall as him I don't know what it would be like if I was it's funny to stand face to face with him. I regress sorry.......maybe I need meds!!!!!!!

 Silage cutting

 Trouble

 Dust from the truck going by.

 All's well that ends well.Stay in the middle Greg.

 Butterball at the fair. Johnny and Butterball got 3rd in the Charolais Jr class and 2nd in the 4-H show. Good job. Kordell our oldest grandson gave his fencing demonstration and got a blue. He did a good job not nervous and had the judges laughing. I think he is going to be an excellent speaker.

 A 1st time grandparent gift.
