First Day of Fall

For a minute I thought it was October already. Yesterday I thought it was Tuesday all day, when it was Wednesday. It seems that time is just a blur lately. The weekends have been busy, between extra farm work and events with friends. The week days are a constant attempt to get a step ahead, while it feels like it ends up being two steps back.

Vehicles are numerous at my house, but the ones that are derivable are scarce. The guys are working hard to restore some of them, but it takes time to make repairs on vehicles.

We finally received our first milk check from the plant that we ship milk to. It's a start, but we have to take this opportunity to continue working extra hard to get our finances and business running smoothly.

Fall begins today. The signs are already all over the countryside. The corn stalks are drying, the soybean leaves are turning gold and the early trees are changing colors. I've celebrated by baking a pie. Apple pie, of course. And I did have one pumpkin spice latte already. They're okay.... I think it's the thoughts of happiness you get that taste better than the actual drink. However, Culver's pumkin cheesecake concrete mixer is truly amazing.

It's political seasons, as well. Oddly, we've noticed that campaign signs are few and far between. At least around here. These candidates are extreme enough to get everyone to voice their opinions, but not their support. Oh, America... what are we doing?

Anyway, it's a new day. There's always hope for the future. Even if winter is on it's way and the government is crazy. At least we're getting paid for milking our cows now! :)

PSH Results

Okay, so I checked all of the comments (some on Facebook and some here on this blog) regarding the photo scavenger hunt. Here are the results:

Points for each team based on the whole list showed that it was practically a three way tie!!! I tallied up all the points and team 1 & 3 both had 13 points and team 2 had 12 points. SO CLOSE!!! 


So I decided to add up the points for each photo since that's how most everyone who'd commented had given their score.

This is who won for each photo:

1. "We broke it!" Team 2!















 2.  A creation in sand. Team 3 won without any competition!



3.  Shadows. Team 1!



 4. Everybody with somebody with a birthday in July. Congratulations team 1, 2 and 3! It was a three way tie!




5. A Bible verse. Team 1!


6. Wedding. Team 3!


7. A song title. Team 1!




What a fun challenge and a fun group of people. Thank you, to everyone who voted!! We all appreciate your help!
