Playing Photographer over MEA

Too bad the sun was in their eyes causing a bit of squinting.  The colors
they are wearing work well with the old wood.

That's Nancy and Sophie with Dad.

More sun issues here but kind of a fun shot.

Never mind that it's a manure spreader!
We did it just for fun.

What are we sitting on, Sophie?  I don't know, Carly.

Cyrus Hayride

Royce took the kids out for a hayride.
Paul is hunting ducks in the background.

Silhouette of the farm just before sunset.

Love this photo!  It was taken up in the old cow pasture and you can see the farm-site in the background. 

Showing off their new shirts from Auntie Lynn!

Summer's Last Blooms

I cut these a couple of weeks ago and placed them in spots where we'd  see them lots; the bathroom and kitchen sink.  

These are gone too now.  Don't you just hate seeing your summer plants die?
Winter is a couple months too long for me.

A couple of late tomatoes with Mom's canned carrots.  Aren't they pretty?
The cat was a summer rummage sale find.   I was going to give her away but she grew on me.

My favorite variety of pansy.

Mid-October, Really?!?

 Hard to believe, but true!  School has been keeping me very busy and the weeks are just flying by. 

 I found a way to incorporate my crow puppet into the seasonal decorating.  He may need to come to school for a spooky poem or story soon.

 I bought these harvest pictures at a rummage sale near Barrett this summer.  Not sure where the pic's are from though.  I love the horses in the picture below, also note the guy on top of the thresher in his overalls.

 Look at the ladies on the left, I bet they brought out a good lunch.

 I found these Waverly drapes at the BB for $3.  I like the yellow with the green walls.

 Here are some fancy headbands I made this evening.  They're for the classroom sale to support the humane society.  Some of the kids have been using their noon hour to make some beaded jewelry to sell.  The sale will be at school in a few weeks.  The flower on the top left is my first attempt at a fabric flower.  It was super easy. Kris, I used some of the material I bought at your sale.  Bigger ones would make nice pins and tiny ones would work well on barrettes  for little girls.  The feather band on the right is my favorite feather headband, made from pheasants.  I think this bag came from Paul or Royce. They are SO easy, just some hot glue and then I had some button type decor purchased from the dollar store to finish them off.

I realize that was a very random post but those were the newest pictures off my camera so I just went with it!  Have a good weekend!  Laurie
