| I'm sorry I don't have a much better image for this week, but I just haven't seen anything interesting. I did see these turkeys this morning on the way to the feed mill. This hen and quite a few poults crossed the road in front of us. Of course a car was coming up fast from behind, and this is the only picture I got.

| It's Tuesday again -already- Where does the time go? Here is Frosty and doing what she does best. Ya gotta love it. She sleeps all day and keeps guard on the mice in the garage all night. Happy Ruby Tuesday, and do click on over to http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com to see more RED. |

| When you live near the lakes, you always find some Mallards to photograph. This little girl sat still just long enough for me to get a picture. Happy Macro Monday and do click on over to http://lisaschaos.com to see what Lisa has done with this meme. |

| We have 3 apple trees, and the Northern Spy is going to give us lots of apples for pies this winter. |
 |
| The little grape tomatoes have produced so many goodies this summer despite all the hot and dry weather. They are sooo good. |
 |
| Even the ever bearing red raspberries and still going strong although the birds have stolen plenty. |
 |
| The Milkweed Tiger caterpillars are out in full force now. Once again, I have seen very few butterflies this season. There were more early in the summer, but as the hot temperatures took it's toll on all the flowers, the butterflies disappeared. |
 |
| I did see this Monarch just the other day, but maybe it was migrating through our area. |
 |
| This is our llama trail, and you can see how overgrown it is. It needs some help. So much rain now that things are growing really out of control. |
 |
| Not far from home lives all these Belgian horses. They were kind enough to pose for me on a drive past their pasture. We've had rain on and off all week, but nothing too bad. Even some sun to help dry everything out. We were predicted a frost a few days ago, and we picked all the remaining tomatoes just in case. The frost didn't happen, but I did can up half of the tomatoes today, and got 10 quarts. My new chickens are going fine, and I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. |
 |
| I took this shot last night of the pink light I have in a lamp on our desk representing Breast Awareness month. It was reflecting in a picture we have . Happy Weekend Reflections, and click on over to http://weekendreflection.blogspot.com to see more. |

| All day today these clouds were building, and sometimes getting quite dark, and it was very windy. There were warnings about rip currents and possible water spouts on Lake Erie, but I don't believe any spouts formed. I have been waiting to photograph some for a long while, but you have to be there at the right time. |
 |
| This evening as the sun sets in the west, the clouds show lots of pink color. |
 |
| This is the time of the year for Mums, and we have a gorgeous Amish greenhouse not too far from home. This is the scene as you drive off the main highway down the beautiful road toward their really cool log home and 5 greenhouses. |
 |
| Just this summer they added this gazebo with lots of cool flowers, and a bench for resting. |
 |
 |
| Their house is log, and amazing for Amish. Of course I got some Mums, and I'll post some pictures when they are all in bloom. |
 |
| We stopped on Chautauqua Lake for lunch, and these cute ducks are big time beggars, and I saw one youngster. I thought they should all be grown by now. This one must be from a late hatch. |
 |
| We were on the road a good share of the day, picking up more new chickens to add to my flock. I'm getting more egg orders than I can supply, so it's time to get more girls, and I got some real beauties. Have a good rest of the week. |
