October

 





The girls and I went to Deal's Orchard by Jefferson on Sunday.



 

 



We went for a wagon ride..... beautiful Percherons

 









I tried to get them to put their ears up for the photo.  Typical mules.
I asked their owner what exactly they were, and he said, "Their mama
 was a Belgian mare, and their Daddy was a travelin' man."





 







There's something about an old oak tree.  Don't you think?



 

 

 



We didn't buy pumpkins at Deal's...... not when you
can buy them from our neighbor for $2!



 



Can you believe it?



 

 

I love gourds.



















 

I love October.



This guy was on the road on our way there.

 I tried to get him off the road by throwing a rock at him.

 He didn't even flinch, so I thought he was dead......

 until we came home a few minutes later and he was gone! 

So now that I know he was alive I wish I hadn't got so close.



This is what we did with some of our pumpkins and gourds. 
These days our house has more sparkles than Taylor Swift.
