October Occasions

Jimmy's hired man from South Africa

shot this photo of Bob unloading wheat

into the grain cart that Andrew operates

Bob spent a lot of time in Killdeer

helping Jimmy with harvest

I think this was at the Big Iron show

in Fargo where Jimmy and his hired men

met Bob for a day.

When Bob went back to Jimmy's

to get the camper, I finished

the bathroom wallpaper

and painted the wall and vanity.

They are supposed to be two

shades of gray (not 50). :-)

Another bathroom view...check out

the towels---made by a neighbor for me

about 20 years ago--never used them

Lots of wind lately....

this Kochia weed "tumbled" 

into my flowerbed

This shirt is from 1978....the first

year that we planted sunflowers

Trina wanted some Fritel shirts

to make a quilt.....

so I found these at Kelly's...

the kids had outgrown them :-)

The ladies at church wanted to buy

a robot vacuum, so  I ordered one

and tested it in my kitchen. 

It looks like a big bug.

The railroad has been storing cars on our track

for several years because they didn't need them.

This year they are expecting a lot of business,

so they have already pulled over 300 cars

past our farm.

Now that Andrew is 14, 

he could hunt and shot this doe.
A milestone in a young kid's life!

Bob found some plum trees on the 

east side of the garden shelterbelt.

The trees south of the garden 

had no plums this year.  This

is step 2 of jelly making!  Step 1

was washing the plums. :-)

This much from only half of the plums.

I added strawberries...yummy!

 

Another milestone! Jett turned

14 and now has a driver's permit.

Blue jay in the flowering crabapple tree.

Not a good pic, but we have not had blue jays

for at least ten years...is there a big

weather change coming??

On Monday, the 12th, we went to Esmond

to get the lamb we bought from Jay B.

The butcher shop is on the right.

Heading home from Rugby on Sunday,

I ran into a "traffic jam" of cattle

Made a few of these to practice

before teaching a Lebanese kid in Rugby

Fall sunset

My new best friend :-)

Keeping Bob in stitches :-)

😥😥

I put "Frosty" together again,

but then the sun came out.

20 degrees and 50 mph winds...

but I had to get the mail! :-)

Guess Who's coming to dinner?

Mullet man and friends?

Superwoman :-)

Is black a color, too?

Star Wars, Mother hen, and chick :-)

Happy Halloween!
