Views around Coopville.....

Hubby playing in the leaves.

Tops of the trees when the sun shines on them.

A few pretty leaves

More leaves

Almost all the leaves ae gone on this one

Road to the back of the property

Look what popped up!

Logging being done next door-so far three truck loads  of trees have been taken down and carted away

Just a pretty cloud.

A dew covered oak leaf

Humongous mushrooms growing out of a tree stump

Charlie and the girls eating apple peels - yup, I was making pies!

Not much going on. I guess that is a good thing.  :o)

Need a smile today?

These might just do it for 'ya - Compliments of Ruthe:

Things that happen for the first time:   First time being dunked into water that's way too cold: First time driving through a dark tunnel:   First time watching fireworks: First time getting caught in a bubble shower:   hh First time finding a new recipe in a cooking magazine: First time smelling of someone's foot: First time having their toes licked by a cat: First time watching New Year's fireworks: First time "drinking" out of a hose: First time forgetting how glass windows work: First time forgetting how spoons work: First time opening a present: First time living in a hollowed-out fruit: First time meeting a puppy: First time experiencing the sweet, sweet glory of television: First time chatting with a puppet: First time seeing ice cream: And finally, the first time experiencing the taste of sour:

Today's funny :o)

A husband went to police station to report his missing wife:

Husband : I’ve lost my wife, she went shopping yesterday and has still not come home.
Sergeant : What is her height ?
Husband : Oh, 5 something . . .
Sergeant : Build?
Husband : Not slim, not really fat.
Sergeant : Color of eyes?
Husband : Never noticed.
Sergeant : Color of hair?
Husband : Changes according to season.
Sergeant : What was she wearing?
Husband : Dress/suit/blue jeans -- I don’t remember exactly.
Sergeant : Did she go in a car?
Husband : yes.
Sergeant : What kind of car was it?
Husband : 2015 Corvette Stingray 3LT with the Z51 Performance Package, shark gray metallic paint, with the 6.2 litre V8 engine with Direct Injection generating 460 HP. 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, and GT bucket seats, and has a very thin scratch on the front left door.……………. at this point the husband started crying...
Sergeant : Don't worry sir.......We’ll find your car.

Mystery

Don't know what is going on with the chickens lately....


They were out of the pen and run most of the day just wandering around near the house (and not getting into any trouble). We decided to eat dinner early, so I rounded them up and put them back in while we ate. While doing the dishes, I didn't see them in the pen, so I went outside:

They weren't in the run

 

Or in the pen.

 

The gate was closed, too.

I opened the coop door - and there they were!

Don't know what made them hide in there during the day while there was still a couple of hours of sunlight left.

Hubby thinks noise from our neighbor's property scared them. It's being logged to clear some land for a barn, (those machines are awesome, by the way!) but Charlie and the girls are used to all the noise Hubby makes with his tractors and stuff. It's ALWAYS noisy here.

The local crows were squawking up a storm. Maybe the chicken hawks were circling around the pen. I looked up all around and didn't see or hear anything.

Or maybe they just wanted to take a nap?

As time goes by....

So sorry! The  pics are not downloading - and Donna was kind enough to send them to me twice!


Don't know what happened .......



Loyal reader Donna sent me some amazing pictures of what life was like not that so very long ago.

Today's funny :o)

Busy day!

Very busy day here at Coopville yesterday :

Hubby weed-whacking the front

My job: clean up this mess along the driveway!

And it WAS a big mess!

Nice 'n clean - will build a rock wall there in the Spring!

Charlie and the girls

Hubby digging a hole for this Winter's fireplace

ashes.

 

Shirley and Charlie

 

Lucy's funny shaped egg - none from Laverne & Shirley

Lots and lots of leaves to clean up...

It was a beautiful Fall day and we spend most of it outside. The next big project is to get a roof put on the pen before the snow starts. Hopefully, we can get it done sometime this month!
