Great pictures, especially the butterfly. Very quiet in the forest. Hummingbirds left about two weeks ago. Seeing lots of young turkeys & baby calves in the fields. Just finished tarping the garden. Frost for the next few nights, then some beautiful weather. Worth it! Enjoy decorating Halloween town & watching Football! Good Luck! Hugs! Brooke & Henri

Hi Chris and Holly Happy Baking Friday. Can't believe it has been 13 years since you started the tradition of Baking Friday. I remember when Kayla, Taylynn, and you did Baking Friday. Kayla would always pick out the eggs that you used. There are lots and lots of great memories that were made over the years in the kitchen.. Now you are teaching your nephews how to bake and that is really wonderful. I am so glad that they look so forward to being in the kitchen with Uncle Chris.

Love the pics today. Nature can be so beautiful. Of course I love the cardinal. We still have our two pair that we see everyday at the birdfeeders. The one pair are last years birds are are so much smaller than the Mom and Dad pair. They are such sweet birds to watch because they care so much for their mates. The male protects his female at all costs. I love that about them.

Your door covers are really cute. You and Holly sure do love to decorate. I wish I had the ambition to decorate that you two have but if I get the fall decorations out that is about all I do. I did get the fall tablecloths on the dining room and living room tables when Cindy was home for the family dinners that I had at my house.

You and Holly have a great weekend and can't wait to see the pictures of Baking Friday.

Hugs John and Debbie
