Photo Montage:')

These days are filled with leaves, raking and making piles of leaves to swim and be buried in, taking care of the animals, baking, hanging laundry, swinging, running around or crawling in the yard, making towers, reading good books, and learning colors, numbers, letters, and shapes. Even house cleaning has been not such a chore. Now that Franz is about finished with school for the semester, we are hoping to attend daily mass more regularly. I just love this weather and being outside during the sunny days and coming inside and baking and making a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate, and listening to music......BEAUTIFUL!! So, okay Franz has accused me of taking too many pictures, but really who could resist taking pictures of such cute lovable boys.

I'm really happy in the leaf pile!

Hi there Mom!

Not sure what to think here?

Hey little brother "whatcha doing in my leaf pile?"

Sharing the fun!

Look at this leaf...

Hello!!

Awe!!

I'm going to punch you!!

Rrrrarh!!

Story time with Mommy. Surprisingly both boys sat in my lap while I read:')

Augustine did not want to miss out in the fun. He was really funny to watch playing in the leaves..

I want to stay outside in the leaves!

Where is Clement?

A buff Orpington Rooster, who will come to his end in a month. 

Augustine checking on me while I am taking care of the chickens.

Now he is posing, because he wanted his picture like the chickens.

Trying to figure out if there might be a hole big enough for him to come in. This is why we put a top on the run outside.

The pretty black rooster is Maria turned Mario.

A Rhode Island Red Rooster soon to meet his end. Our Reds are shy which is unusual for the breed.

Center is Michelle one of my beautiful Americana hen's.

Center and not looking is Gabrielle my silver Americana hen.
