Eli keeps us smiling

Well friends, those two rose bushes are in the ground. Planted! Done and done! I could hardly wait to get inside and cross those off my 'to do' lists. All these plants may die from the sheer shock of being out of the pot and into the ground.

So now, along with the other fruits that don't produce, we've added two blackberry plants, a persimmon tree, and two more rose bushes.

Early morning, Eli looks forward to going with me to feed the goats. This morning, nothing would do but he had to carry his biggest teddy bear.

Rosie wondered if this was some strange animal he had killed.

Could there be more of these lurking around?

Silly goats, don't be frightened. I'm not frightened.

I love my teddy bear, he won't hurt you.

We are still waiting for that beautiful fall look here. We are beginning to think the fall colors have passed us by.

and these are the two pitiful looking blackberry plants. 

Better get busy. Eli is letting me know it's time to go out. We are getting a sprinkle of rain this morning. Much needed rain too. It's too dry to rake leaves even. Stirs up a dust. 

I've simply got to add more items to the bonnet shop. I've made some bag holders and a couple more girl's aprons...Oh, and a very special Thank You, to Pam, for your apron order. 

Speaking of aprons, here's a switch. Poppy mentioned needing a cloth apron to cover his old plastic apron that he wears at the deer processing plant. So I raked and scraped and put together a camouflage work apron.

He liked it and so did another worker, so I've made two.

Thank you, well, if you're still here. :)

Love,
Henny
