Sometimes you never know what you might find...........

I cleaned out the Barn Palace closets this summer and found Tim's first pair of shoes!!

My brother David and his wife Susan visited us this weekend.

They helped us pick the last of the apple trees...

The foliage was absolutely gorgeous this weekend! This tree is at the edge of the orchard.

We were invited to a wedding on Saturday, October 6th.

Emily Hines from the apple farm "down the road" got married, and the reception was under a tent right next to their orchards. I bet when they were planning this wedding, they weren't counting on it being too hot! It was still over 70 degrees after nine at night..

We lost Bart today....a.k.a. "The Bird"

His best trick was mimicking our whistles, but he was happiest when Peter was feeding him taco chips. We inherited him from Peter's mother when she died in 1998. She had already had him for several years. He really only slowed down about a week ago. It was hard watching him decline...........

We have some wild turkeys living in the orchards, and Jake does not like them to come into his backyard!
