Although it was a warm day, we worked on that massive woodpile—splitting and stacking against the cold and blustery days looming out there.

Seems like there is always a fence to repair
This one was at the Upper End by the drain ditch.
Fixed! Several spans of it. From the gate to that tree you see.
All repaired and ready for the cows when they come.
No, the cows won’t be here until after the corn is harvested. Several more weeks yet.

That’s about it for here. Still, it was rather neat to have the sky, the air, and the earth slightly darken.

It froze last night and
the night before
There are some blooms that have missed the killing frost
Those who succumbed are resting now
Waiting for Spring.
Winter is whispering in the wind…there is snow on the mountains surrounding us
For a few more days, possibly weeks, we will walk in the realm of the dying, the sacred ground of summer past.
From my world to your heart,

The Star of the farm!
Corn!
It’s not dry yet. When it totally dries down the ear will turn over facing the ground.
Once that happens we wait until the moisture in the corn reaches a certain point–14% or lower. Then we harvest!

I’ve been busy lately. Hanging around outside as much as I can
I go outside at the crack of dawn, when Mom gets up
Come in around 10 for my breakfast then head right back out again
Then I don’t come in again. (Although, I do hang out with Mom or Dad or Boo if they are out where I can see them).

Until the sun starts to set. I’m outside so much my fur is changing colors to a very dark brown.
FALL!
It is my FAVORITEST TIME OF THE YEAR! YEOW!!!!

Off we went with Brett and Mariann on a wee trip
Over Owl Creek Pass heading into the SawTooth Mountain Range
It was a perfect day
Full of warmth, color, good friends, and
Stunning tunnels of gold.
We traveled to the Silver Jack Reservoir
Then onto Sero Summit
Our eyes full of colors
And wonderful smells for the doggie’s noses. (Boo Berry went, and their two dogs, Abbie and Shelby)
What a marvelous day for all
