If October means costumes, we're on the right track.
I drove a full load of corn from the combine to the semi-truck, but didn't recognize the driver. If you know Jacob, he's a fun-loving guy who helps his mom with props and costumes for local drama productions. This is one he threw together just for us! Of course he found it more interesting to change halfway through the morning. David and I both took a second--and third--look before we figured out what was going on. I laughed aloud. David shook his head. I'm not sure what the insurance agents thought when they showed up unannounced.

Grace dressed up for powder puff football and the homecoming celebration.

It's been an incredible year for apples! We've lost count of the 5-gallon buckets we've filled: rotted ones for the sheep and cow, beautiful ones for apple pie filling, others for applesauce, and plenty for immediate eating.

Laura caught a white bunny with black spots a month or two ago because it was so different from the others. Lo and behold, we now have a nest full of spotted babies--and flea bites, too.
The 2014 harvest is done. We're praising God for safety and bins full of grain. It's a once-a-year shot, and we have been blessed with abundance!
May you enjoy the abundant blessings of fall--the activities, bounty and change of color before the cold, quiet days of winter.
