Cooler weather is here, reminding me to get some projects done in the yard before the snow flies in a few short months. Ross has been on a staycation from work for 2 weeks and has been working on scraping and touching up paint on the house that bubbled or peeled. Today, I put on my rubber boots and worked out in the yard for three hours. My girls make fun of my "farm boots" but hey- I grew up on a farm and am a farmgirl at heart. So, I'll just create my own petite ferme right here in this yard en ville.  |
| Sturdy boots- bring on the mud! First up this afternoon was welcoming home 2 bunny rabbits from my friend Jim's farm. He sold all the other ones for meat last week, but thought the girls would enjoy having two to make them smile. He even threw in the cage! There is the white one you can see in the picture and also a black one that is hiding in the box. My trusty 4-H skills (did I mention I won Grand Champion in Rabbit Showmanship- big purple ribbon!) tell me that we will soon have more bunnies because silly Jim kept all the bunnies in the same cage and in feeling white bunny's tummy, yup. I better get some straw in there....and another cage. |

| Bunnies still waiting to be named... |
 |
| This is an Autumn Blaze maple. The leaves turn red in the fall (hence the name). It is in the middle 1/3 of the yard. |
 |
| This is a flowering crabapple tree that bears no fruit- just flowers in the Spring. It's in the front 1/3 of the yard. So now it's time for a shower, pjs and reading the Sunday paper. |
