Happy Halloween!

 We didn't manage to go out for Trick or Treat night, so I knew I had to come up with some Mood Food.

It's Pumpkin Time!

I know it's all quite Last-Minute, but I didn't want the pumpkin to look all shriveled and moldy when Halloween came around.  The "little boy" had quite a bit of fun, what with us giving all Creative Control over to him :)

More Amazing Sunsets

Sometimes, after dealing with all the chores in the house, I like to come out for a walk just to get away from all of it.

Then, I am greeted with THIS splendor. :)  ( Google didn't like that I spelt it SplenDOUR , and wanted me to correct it. I thought, oh well, when in Rome. )

Poor Neglected Trash Can

One Week On, 

we are still waiting on the ex-Trash Can to be picked up by the ex-Trash Company.

Welcome and Unwelcome Critters to the Garden.

There are the intriguing Camouflage-y ones...

and then there are the ones you want banished from the face of the Earth.

Look What I Found!

An Anniversary Card to the Hubs, a big lover of cats :)

Remember What We Said About Bringing Plants In?

Hopefully they'll all be snuggly warm with the little heater going, aye? 

Birds and Bees and Mom & Pop Stick Insects.

 

First Below - 50 Temps

Looks like we're gonna be bring in the plants in a few days, aye? Such is the cycle of life. The Beat Goes On and whatnot.

Airplanes overhead

We have an Airport as well as an Air Force Base here in Abilene, as well as plenty of Farms and Fields that need crop dusting from time to time.

Airplanes overhead are no big deal - we see umpteen a day. 

But it IS quite a sight when they Fly In Formation.

Can you even see them? Above the tree a little to the left.

More Home Grown Veges!

Bell Peppers, Cucumbers , Cherry Tomatoes.

When the Ergonomic Keyboard Cord Starts to Fray..

... one needs to be a little handy with some electrical tape.

A Very Lonely Trash Can

We have recently changed Trash Pickup companies for er, SEVERAL reasons, and we were told to leave the trash can out so that it can be picked up.

Well, THERE you go. Hopefully it gets picked up before anything should happen to it.

I love Internet Archive.

It lets me listen to ALL SORTS of things as I do my morning walk :)

The things I have learnt to do.

Making Pear Preserves for The Boys.

At least they are VERY appreciative :)

Homeschool and Technology

I really can't write with a mouse. 

I needed to get myself a drawing/writing pad. 

NOW I'm happy.

Will we ever tire of Tomato Posts?

Not when we have wonderful cherry tomato harvests like these :)

More Sky Stuff!

 

With a Sunset Like THIS...

even with ALL  the challenges there are, it makes me happy to be here. :)

A Prickly Pear Post

 The boys helped to harvest the prickly pears around the place...

they are now rinsed and drying...

while we figure out what to do with them :)

A Vege Post

There are still some Cucumbers and Bell Peppers and Tomatoes to be harvested, which I am glad for,

and we had a very shapely carrot come with our grocery delivery this week.
