Fall Pumpkin Carving

We began gluing instead of just carving. These were gourds that came up voluntarily in our yard.


After a while, the boys had fun destroying their pumpkins.

Experiments with Dad

One day during the week of Thanksgiving, Dad brought home dry ice. The children tried all kinds of things with it. This was one of the funniest.

Autumn's Work

Here is Samuel working in the leaves. We were raking in a neighbors yard.

Our chickens had a run in with an intruder. The one on the right lost half her feathers. She has completely recovered, except she stopped laying eggs for the last month of the season. We arranged another temporary shelter for them this fall. We will be building a suite for them in the spring when the baby chicks come.
We worked to clear out vines and roots from the neighbors old bushes (now taken down). We are getting the area ready to plant rasberries in the spring.
Jacob mowed the lawn for the last time of the season.
It was a great fall clean up day.
