The Horde approaches...

  Stacking wood today, crushed apples under my feet swarmed by yellow-jackets,  the yellow-jackets were calm enough, far more interested in the apple mush than stinging me.  Cloudy, damp and not a breeze was to be had, absolutely the wrong day to stack wood, but it's gotta get done.  After 4 or so loads with the tractor and trailer were stacked, I went in just as the sun came out.  

  Then I noticed them, just a few at first, then more.   I went to let the dogs out and inadvertently let in a dozen or so,  the front of the house was covered.   LADYBUGS!  Millions of them, the horde has arrived, and so the fall rituals here begin,  pull the air conditioners, close the screens, shut the storm windows.

Fall is here in New England!

More SMores Please

Jason loved the SMores Nana made tonight! Despite the photo evidence to the contrary here, he actually did get some in his mouth!

Spooky Light Trails

We picked up some spooky Halloween lights and had the boys running around with the lights. Took a couple of wuick pics of them as they ran through. As you can tell they were having a blast!

Apple Pickin' at Brookdale's

Off to Brookdale Farm in Hollis today, the apples were a bit on the tart side yet, but that's ok, we got to pick a half a bushel, and we got pumpkins too!

Mornin' Glory

Nice morning today up at 6am

Mom and the Twins

Our semi resident doe and her twins were out last night, probably due to the swarms of mosquitoes in the woods, it gets close to evening here now and they come out in droves. Mom was quite interested in what I was doing and kept a watchful eye as I snapped my shots.
