Something about the weather just makes me feel so happy.
I love that it means we're about to have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas....
I love that it's going to be cold enough for roasting wienies and marshmallows at the camp very soon...
Cocoa in the mornings!
Cozy sweaters, mittens, thick socks, and cute hats!
Pumpkins and leaves and bales of hay!!!
We passed this field on the way to the camp and I had to catch my breath.

Friday the kids and I took off to the camp. My Mom is giving the bunkhouse an overhaul! I am so excited.

We painted all of the bunk beds a very pretty shade of green. That was a job, but we had so much fun doing it.

We dug up a ton of peanuts.

Here's my dad on RT with a humungous pile of peanut plants he yanked up all by himself!!!

Can you see the sweat and dirt? He drank about a gallon of water that day but never once used the bathroom...

So we took a ride down to the trail where he'd planted a bunch of rye grass, peas, and other greens (for the deer)....

And look at what we saw:
Click to enlarge if you can't see that poor, pitiful, ugly thing. It had just rained so this possum was all wet and looking especially unattractive. Sometimes a possum can actually look kind of cute. Not this sad sap.

Look at those greens!!!

My Dad cut some okra for me. He's so sweet. I'm going to fry it up with dinner tomorrow night! YUM!
