October 31 ... Costumes, carving, jack-o-lanterns :)

Our clan :)

Carving ... on my own

And finally! Conrad came home
and carved a pumpkin too! 

Our end result :)

October 30 ... Party time!

The birthday girl with her sisters

Cheyenne began her cake smash
with a real delicate touch ...

October 29 ... The birthday girl!

Cheyenne is 1 !!
Can't believe that the
baby in the family is 1 already!

And someone was having a
really happy day!

October 28

Enjoyed tea and hot chocolate
around the fire this morning :)

Carla & Jess' pumpkins got a little
carried away this summer ... grew right
up onto their wood pile! :)

October 26

Just playing :)

October 25

Consider every day that I still
get to sit out here a gift :)

Rescued and cleaned up from basement today 

Love how the lawn looks almost
vacuumed right behind the bagger :)

Trying my best 

October 24

Variegated strawberry plant leaves
with lots of frost

This is what we got when we asked
Ben & Zoe to sit on the pumpkins for a
picture for Grandma  :)

October 23

Supper company ... with a prerequisite
of a photo shoot :)
Very co-operative company  :)

October 22

Some real progress happening at
Jess & Carla's house this week!

This beautiful day most definitely required
lunch to be enjoyed outdoors in the sunshine!  :)

LOL  ... Cheyenne was just plain happy
with this day!  

October 21

The number of times that I find out that
I have gotten a bonus when I do macro ...
did not notice that tiny bug upper right until
I got the pictures onto my computer :)

Had some fun with Suzanne &
her granddaughters this afternoon :)

And poor Bella ... relegated to the porch
during our photo shoot

October 20

Kona was waiting for someone
to come open the back door :)

Finally ... my much longed for new camera!  :)

October 19

My 'old' camera  :)

Beautiful sky captured 'on the fly'

October 17 ... Biking at Birds Hill Park

Suzanne was pretty relaxed
having the birds come land on our hands

I, on the other hand, found it pretty freaky!

October 16

Got outside to take this picture of the skies
just before we heard all the thunder
