Fall Colors Usher in September ;o)

As the leaves start to bring on their color around the pond, temps have ranged from 40-90 degrees ... all windows closed, all windows open ... the Hummers have packed their bags and are winging their way to their winter digs ... the veggie harvest is near the end, the new Cub Cadet 3X Snowblower has arrived at the dealership (sold old Troybuilt rotortiller & Toro snowblower) ... Fall projects are being crossed off the ongoing "list" ... several stormwindows are on and woodbox is full with "pre-winter" small stuff to burn!

September Photoshoot  ;o)
(Emma, Sutter, Willow, Mya)

"As soon as shed painting is done ... WE SWIM !!!"

























"I'll be BEAUTIFUL again when I'm dry ... REALLY"
