TREES

Trees are the kindest things I know,

they do no harm, they simply grow.

And spread a shade for sleepy cows, and gather birds among their boughs,

They give us fuit in leaves above, and wood to make our houses of,

and leaves to burn on halloween, and in the spring new buds of green.

They are the first when day's begun to touch the beams of morning sun,

they are the last to hold the light when evening changes into night.

And when a moon floats on the sky they hum a drowsy lullaby of sleepy children long ago...

Trees are the kindest things I know.

Fall Fun!!!

~On a crisp, sunny day take your family on a hike to the woods. Pick up colorful leaves, acorns, walnuts and bittersweet. Come home and string a fall garland to hang across the mantel or doorway.

There is something in the autumn

that is native to my blood~

Touch of manner, hint of mood,

And my heart is like a rhyme,

With the yellow and the purple

and the crimson keeping time.

~Bliss Carman

Tip of the Season!!!

~Carved pumpkins only stay fresh for a few days. To keep them fresh longer, coat the cut edges with peroleum jelly.

More Pictures... Old Barns

I think Paul's Great Uncle filled the barn and sold the Cows!!! Holy Buckets, Who would of thought all that was up there??? Grandpa S. says, "It must be at least 50 years old the hay and straw!!!" Pretty Stinky!!!

Our Old Barns...

are coming down to make room for the New Machine Shed which is the result of the storm that took down

the Yellow and White shed we had at Walters.

Yes! We have our building permit and Yes! We have our Septic system updated to 2010 and Yes! We have our dumpsters for all of the barns!!! Ugh... How many do you think to shove all these barns in will we need??? Crazy I tell you it is Craziness!!!

Here is a Little Peak...

what I have been up too...

Panda Bears!!!

~Have a "Bulb Party"...

~A sunny fall Saturday is the perfect time to host a bulb party under the trees. Load a table with terra cotta pots, trowels and spring~blooming bulbs. Fill galvanized tubs or sap buckets with potting soil, then get digging! Everyone goes home with potted daffodils and tulips along with a cheery anticipation of what's to come.

It's back - to school time!

Have an "It's back-to-school time!" dinner especially for the kids. Set a table outside and serve up all their favorite foods.

For dessert, build a bonfire, roast apples and make s'mores.

~Or use a pumpkin or ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut the center from a slice of cheese. After spooning soup into bowls, top servings with the cut-out shape or the cheese slice. How fun!
