Everyone, well lots of people talk about "seeing the colors" on the east coast. We have see the changing leaves in Wisconsin and this year we had the chance to see them in Indiana. We took a longer way to see some new country, going through Iowa instead of Missouri and splitting the trip with an overnight stay somewhere in Iowa. We stopped at a small cheese factory and bought some gouda cheese. That's the only kind they make. We found that we really don't like gouda all that much, but I grated it and put in in soups and eggs, and we like it that way.
We celebrated Lynette's birthday with a cake. She chose the color of the frosting, she probably should have chosen someone else to make it. I got too much liquid in it and we ran out of powdered sugar, thus the interesting outcome.
Even though we don't have the variety of colors in our part of Nebraska, I love the gold and blue colors we do have.
My brother in Texas is planting milkweed to entice Monarch butterflies to his area. So, I sent him all the milkweed pods from the 8 plants in my flower garden. It was well over 100 seeds. I have other spots of milkweed so I'm not shorting myself.
We have some butterflies and the gorgeous October day I took these photos we had several enjoying these marigolds.
Jim is making progress on his chicken house/garden shed.
I think it is important for kids to read and I love to see that Lorene's boys enjoy it.
I don't read as much as I should and I enjoy non-fiction best.
