HAPPY HALLOWEEN
This decoration is in my front bay window.
I took a walk on our trails this afternoon, and there is this one tree that has this fuzzy white vine growing all over it, and I have no idea what it is, but I think it's pretty.
I put peanuts out on my feeders today, and it did bring the Blue jays. This guy was high up in the tree, but still keeping an eye on me.
We drove back to that dirt road where we saw the Bittersweet a couple days ago. There were actually some pretty leaves to see even though the area got around 7" of snow that day. PS, I got myself some Bittersweet too, and found 2 more vines with plenty of berries. I'll remember this for next year. I used them in my arrangement in the bay window around the base of the big pumpkin.
Indian summer is here. It will be much warmer today, and we will be enjoying it. Maybe out for a walk on the Nature Preserve one more time before the BIG snows hit. Have a wonderful and safe Halloween.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Good Morning all. It was a blustery day and we have about 2" of snow. Towns farther to the south got much more. The old Indians call this Squaw winter. When this is finished we'll get Indian summer, and the temperatures could reach the upper 60's. Won't that be nice? The Indians gathered one more raiding party before winter during this time when there was no snow on the ground and their enemies couldn't track them back to their camps.
This was our back yard when it all started.
Driving down the road to look for pumpkins. At this point the snow wasn't sticking.
This is the Bittersweet bush/ shrub where I took the shot that is in my header. I just love Bittersweet for holiday decorations, and we found this growing along side a dirt road out in the "boonies". I might have to go back there and snip some. I do have my own growing, but it doesn't have any berries. Behind this bush was a huge one in the woods, but no way to get to it.
Driving home I spotted a couple of barns. This one apparently has no one to love it.
This one is in better condition, and sits beside a large corn field that has yet to be harvested.
Finally this barn is about 1 mile from us. It is a huge complex, and very modern. They are the ones that use the liquid manure called "slurry", and when it's spread on the fields, the entire countryside smells BAD for days!

Good Morning! It's really a yucky start to the day, but promises to get better. Right now it is pouring, BUT it could be the white stuff! We have another whirlwind day. We leave here in 2 hours to go pick up the goats, and the remaining 3-4 chickens. It shouldn't take too long, but with this weather you never know.
On my creek walk yesterday I found these ever bearing red Raspberries at the back of our yard still producing. There are plenty of unripe ones left and they usually get frozen before they're ready to eat.
These are the leaves of a pink Azalea.
The creek trail is covered with dried leaves making the walk quite crunchy sounding. It's difficult to sneak up on an unsuspecting animal now. And don't you just LOVE the nutty smell of the woods at this time of year.
A Sycamore leaf lazily bobbing atop the water on it's journey down French creek and eventually to the Mississippi River.
Another of my "new" chickens. She is a Polish hen, and as of today I don't have a name for her yet. Any suggestions?

On our trip into town yesterday we saw this Halloween display. This is in the rear of a very old brick building in the original part of town. I think there are some apartments back here, but I wasn't aware anyone lived it them. While we were there an old Chevy El Camino pulled in just loaded with potted Mums. I wonder where there is room for anything else? ? 
Well, I must get going. Lots to do. Have a wonderful day, stay dry and warm, and try to take at least one photo.

Good Morning everyone. It's 39º here and another nice day in store.
On a recent drive to the shores of Lake Erie, we see one of the many varieties of grapes. I don't know too many of them, but I suspect this might be a wine grape.
Leaf from a Sycamore tree. Some of them get huge.
My Halloween bench. Finally I got the mums for it.
This is a close-up of one of my Mums.
This is another one.
Yesterday turned out to be another busy one. We got all the "kids" wood finished up too. In the afternoon they made cider. I have a bushel of apples to process, so I won't be loafing around today either. LOL. Have a great day all.
