We saw three deer at the back of our hayfield.

More snow last night!
 

November 28, 2021

We hit some snow on the way home yesterday, so my son got some snow driving experience.  Now we've got some on the ground again.
 

November 27, 2021

The boys and I joined some more relatives for a hike in the woods and briars to mark property lines.
 

November 26, 2021

We got a dusting of snow again.
 

November 25, 2021

I made some oatmeal cookies and pumpkin rolls.
 

November 24, 2021

There was a bright sunrise this morning.

We've got a nice layer of gravel now.
 

November 22, 2021

We got gravel put down on the driveway today.

My daughter got an academics letter from school.
 

November 20, 2021

We worked on mom's leaves again.  This year most of the leaves all fell off at once so it was extra thick this time.  We got two more trailer loads.  The gardens are too soft to drive into so I had to back the trailer up at a sharp angle.  My daughter took a turn controlling the dump trailer on this trip.

It's birthday time again.

The red and pink leaves from the burning bush always remind me of Valentine's day.
 

November 17, 2021

We were weeding today and my son found a praying mantis egg sack.  I've seen these before and had no idea what they were.  I'm not sure how he knew, but glad he does so we can put it aside and have little praying mantis in the spring.

Most leaves are brown now after the frost and snow.  The pin oak leaves still have a little red to them yet.
 

November 15, 2021

The snow is melting already.
 

November 14, 2021

We got some snow today.  I took pictures of the kids for Christmas, though it was snowing hard enough to keep getting in everyone's face.
 

November 13, 2021

I froze some pumpkin today.

November 11, 2021

Here are the leaves after dumping.  We'll spread them out after the last load.
 

November 10, 2021

Emptying leaves from the trailer is a lot easier than loading them.
 

November 9, 2021

This is most of our potato harvest.  Many of them were partially eaten by grubs, which is a problem we've never had before.   
 

November 8, 2021

I planted some saffron crocus, which blooms in the fall.  The long red part coming from the center is saffron.
 

November 7, 2021

We dug potatoes today. 
 

November 6, 2021

We took our family picture today.  It was pretty back in the woods.
 

November 5, 2021

We worked on the leaves at my mom's house.  We filled the trailer up plus some more.
 

November 4, 2021

We had a hard frost this morning and it seems to be making the leaves fall really fast now.

Apparently it is deer mating season.  Today we saw a doe being chased around by three bucks.  This buck and another were big guys, while the third I saw was a little smaller.  They disappeared after running across the road.

The trees in my yard are looking pretty now.
