Hi Everyone

I cannot believe the last time I posted was in June. I am hanging my head in shame, and really don't know where the summer has gone.
There have been a lot on things changing here--Colin and Katherine have purchased a home in Two Rivers which means I will not be putting up my little building but instead doing things as we did in the past in Two Rivers. Lyle is more comfortable with this idea instead of trying to heat and cool a little out building and I am getting used to the idea although I did love the design (thank you Connie).
     I have actually succeded in growing Indian Corn this year and gourds and have been busy the last week or so in decorating the front porch.  Gosh!  Lyle and I spend a lot of time out there.  LOL  Maybe that is where the summer has gone.
Anyway I have taken a few pics of what we have done to decorate that porch.
You all remember this guy,  well now we are making him and he will sell for $65 which is a wonderful price co
nsidering what I had to charge for him when I was ordering him in from the east coast.
The neighbor next door gave me to bales of bedding that they use for their horses.  Hey the cut down 3 of our acres and use it for their horses feed and some for bedding.  They use this old Hay Rake and it is just so much fun watching this done with old equipment. 
And there went some more of the summer.  LOL  The Hay Rake is owned by a neighbor down the road a little bit from us and they were nice enough to give us the corn stalks for the front porch.  We are getting to know the neighbors out here and everyone is willing to help each other out.  Today Lyle was over at the Lake helping the new people move there trailer a few feet as they had no trailer hitch and couldn't move it themselves.  It is a nice way to live.
Here is my old rusting milk can that I just added sticks and berries and a few pieces of corn stalks to.  A little bit messy but pretty too, anyway you all know I can't do that formal look.
I love this wonderful large bird feeder.  We have it out in the front garden and have seen so many new birds come to it this year.  And wasn't it nice of those birds to plant the sunflower seeds so perfectly to accent the feeder?
    Well I wanted to give you a sneak peek as to what has been happening around my prim home and hope to see you all this coming weekend.  The response to the email and post cards has been wonderful so I am hoping to see many of you.
Stay well and Happy
Hugs
