IT'S WHEELY WEDNESDAY - AUTUMN COMES TO ROCKY CREEK FARM




Here's our driveway
leading from the house to the main road.
If you stand in the road
close to the woods

you can see


Our Cousin's old silo

the field that Mom calls
"the Joe field"
because her uncle used
to have a house in this field.
Now it is pasture.


And our house,
granary and barn.
Autumn is coming fast to our farm


Mom designed this doll
for our friend, Vicki.
Vicki collects horns
and the doll's name is
Horatio Hornblower.
His story says that when you

think you hear the wind howling
through the trees on a
crisp Fall night,
it's really Horatio trying out his horns.

Every aspect of him,
except his basket itself,
was hand made and designed by Mom,
even the horns.

Our favorite part
is his little basket of horns.

Our favorite Autumn treat
rhymes with horn,
it's Candy Corn.
But we like it best
when it's mixed with peanuts.
(Mom says to be really good,
it must be Brach's Candy Corn
and Planter's Peanuts)

XOXO
Piper, Carrleigh and Java

PS
We're due to go pick up Lilly on Friday,
unless Mom's doctor says otherwise.

We love your countryside... the winding road and the fields and pastures and the silo and the trees and the colors and the skies and even the smells that we have to imagine ... for now! Horatio is quite a handsome little dude.... looks like he could be the conductor of the Youth Orchestra where our Girl played her horn (the OH BO!). All he needs is a baton in his hand! Hehehe!

Looks like you're enjoying this beautiful season... we hope your Moma gets released on Friday in time to bring LIlly home and to enjoy the weekend!

Love you guys,
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Beautiful countryside you live in! Our fall colors are pretty much gone (except for the aspens), and we are getting brown here. Mom says we are going to "go south" for a month - in a couple of weeks - to get out of the brown, before the Serious Snow starts.
