Halloween is just around the corner

This is Rose, one of our goats.  She has cleaned all the oak leaves off of the Oak Tree.  The oak is the tree at her back but the branches are right in front of her.  The tree in front of her is a Walnut.  She likes the leaves in it also but prefers Oak or even better pecan leaves.  Isn't she pretty ?  Her sister Alice is just as sweet but she is lounging in the shade.

Have been busy here and there.  Much to do and the time is traveling by so fast I can't believe it.  Here we are heading into Autumn.  What a pretty time of the year.  I just love the smell of the crisp cool air in the morning.  You can just feel the change coming.  We really had a mild summer so am hoping the winter will follow suit.  We don't live in snow country so don't have that to worry about just rain and usually lots of it.  What I miss is the thunder storms.  Coming from Kansas we would have some rip roaring thunder and the lightning, well let's just say you were able to see All of the night sky whether you wanted to or not.  Oh, the good ole' days ! 

  I mentioned we have a walnut tree, two in fact here in our yard.  They are starting to fall so need to get out there and get them picked up.  I swear it's a battle to keep our dogs away from them.  What is really cute is finding a walnut cracked on my couch with only the shell left.  Oh, you can just bet I find that cute. Ha!  This year I am going to get them cracked and in my freezer as fast as I can.  We do love them and snack on them a lot.  What is better then walnut and carob chips, yum yum.     Tootles
