Woke Up To Snow

Yep we woke up to a few inches of the white stuff.

Thanksgiving went very well and we got to visit with 2 parts of the family. So many of my pictures didn't turn out :(.

Mild Fall So Far

It's been a real nice mild fall as far as the weather goes so far. Some cold, frosts, rain and lots of wind but else not bad. A little drier than we like it but the rain finally moved in again a few days ago. We go from totally dry to mud but one can't have one without the other.

A cold front is coming in this week so here comes the cold. My sister and cousins in the UP of Michigan have already been getting snow.

My sister Laura in the UP passed the 15 of October from her fight with cancer. It took a couple of days for us to get the news. She was 55 years old. So young yet.

It was time to clean the chicken coop again and down new straw.

I did manage to get some Elderberry syrup made for helping to keep some illnesses at bay. This time off of our own elderberry bushes. First year we have gotten any berries from them.

We keep our daughter in Afghanistan close in our prayers. Lots going on over there.

Also all of our condolences to those losing loved ones to this war.
