Snowmen

 I had a busy Christmas.

The weather was warm so we didn't have to worry about driving

in the snow. We drive to Lake Erie Christmas eve.

My FIL's house is right by the water.

In the summertime it is a busy place.

The winter is so much calmer.

This is a snowman my friend made.

I am going to make some.

I love them.

Our town has a street fair that

starts tomorrow through Saturday.

It was a busy time of the year

when my kids were younger.

They showed hogs and steers every year.

 

 

 

We planted pumpkins Memorial Day

and harvested them

It hasn't frosted here so,

we have more still growing.

It's so fun decorating with

all of them.

Butterflies

Y

 We have lots of milkweed in a field

on our farm.

Yesterday I was mowing

and noticed lots of butterflies.

Many Monarchs and other different butterflies.

 

As soon as I got my camera,

They fluttered into the corn field.

It was more fun to watch them then to take a picture

of them.

Have a great day!

Harvest Rug

September is moving right along.

We turned the heat on in our house yesterday.

Not ready for cold weather, I don't think we are done with

air conditioning yet.

All of our crops are about ready to be harvested.

It is always a relief when the corn is off.

I hooked another chicken rug in different colors.

Have a great week!

blooming and going up the blue spruce.

Looked like garland.
