| Now that winter has supposedly arrived, and we did get 10" of snow so far today, the birds that have been keeping away came in great numbers this morning. I was ready for them, and provided a great feast. If you would like to see more RED, click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com and see what Mary has done with this cool meme. |

| Yesterday afternoon we went to the lake looking for ducks, and also saw this good looking Canadian Pacific locomotive sitting idle on the siding over the Christmas holiday. The engine was running and was coupled to a very long string of tank cars. Most likely the engineer and conductor were home with their families and would be taking the train on it's way Monday morning.

| I painted this picture many years ago, and still bring it out each Christmas. Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends on Ruby Tuesday. Click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see lots more RED. PS We lost all the snow we had! |

| Even with the Christmas tree feet away Frosty has finally grown up, and so far hasn't bothered it. Last year we had to keep a spray bottle of water handy just in case. You know what I mean. A sunny day here and a WOW temperature this morning of 8 deg! I'm definitely NOT ready for this. Happy Ruby Tuesday. Click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see more RED. |

| We pass this poor old barn many times when we go to watch trains, and every time I feel sorry for it, that no one cares any more. I wonder if once it housed many happy animals, and the smell of fresh mown hay was unforgettable. Happy Ruby Tuesday. Do click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see lots more RED |

| Since we have had more rain again lately, I tried to find something on our LLama trail, and there seemed to be plenty of Sumac this year. Last season they all froze. To see lots more RED click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com |

| We did have a nice Spring despite all the rain, and the Wild Roses provided us with an abundance of rose hips. Happy Ruby Tuesday everyone, and click on over to Mary's site http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see more RED. |

| We got 3.5" of snow Friday and being Veteran's day the kids had no school. A perfect time to build a snowman. Here is our 2 granddaughters, Jalyn on the left, and Becca with the pink pants along with our neighbor friend Natalie attempting to add some color to their snowman with spray bottles filled with diluted food coloring.

| It's Tuesday, and we have had some really nice days the past week. Even folks got out in their kayaks possibly for a last time before bad weather set in. Happy Ruby Tuesday. Click on http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see more REDS. |

| It's Ruby Tuesday, and I want to introduce you all to Pollyanne. She is the new gal that will be advertising that we have eggs for sale. We don't have quite enough eggs yet, ( some of the younger girls haven't begun laying) but she is quite patient and will be getting lots of rest till we're ready for her. I plan to give her a scarf to wear for each season too. The design was a community affair. Gary thought up the name, our son Steve painted the white, Cindy, a great neighborhood friend did all the lettering, and I painted the face. Of course I also added Made in USA on the bottom!

| For Ruby Tuesday I'll introduce you to all 8 of my Bantam chickens. They are mostly a hobby of mine, but their eggs are quite tasty too. They all with the exception of Chicklet my rooster weigh less than 2 pounds.

| We took a ride today to see the Fall leaves and they are spectacular this year. One more nice day with the temps in the upper 70's then back to reality, and cooler days and nights.

| The berries on my Holly bushes are the best in years. I keep watching for Cedar Wax wings to devour them, but no luck yet. Happy Ruby Tuesday. Click on http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see lots more RED. |

| As I walked around the pasture this afternoon, I saw one of my Light Brahma pullets peaking out from the weeds. I have a young flock, mixed with some older hens and it shouldn't be long now before the youngsters begin to give us some eggs.

| Ya gotta love this sign. I can remember when it said 100's sold. Now it's in the Billions! Remember when hamburgers were .15 cents, and cheeseburgers were .18 cents ? It's Ruby Tuesday, and click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see lots more RED. |

| It's that time again. Canning season, and these tomatoes were grown in our families gardens. Somehow they always taste so much better than the ones you buy from the store. It's Ruby Tuesday, and if you will click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see lots more RED. |
