Arnie & Emily today. Arnie & Emily age 4 months.


Jacqui and Anneliese and Emily and Anneliese
Then I looked around and saw how beautiful it is and the things we are doing to prepare for the winter.


Hubby getting the wood cut, and our golden delicious apple tree.
From my house.
I got out all my canning supplies and packed them in boxes to store over the winter. Autumn is finally upon us and soon the leaves will be at peak color and then with a good wind, the leaves will be on the ground, ushering in the start of winter.
We turned on our heat today for the first time. It’s amazing. October 13 and this is the first time we have needed the heat since last spring!

Oh I do so love Autumn!
NICE apple and leaves picture. I love it! Funny how the pictures of Emily and Arnie were so alike. Very cute.
You have one beautiful set up there! Glorious view from all sides. I’m quite jealous. How’d you score such a wonderful home?
Beautiful fall pics, it’s finally here!
Emily is growing up, she’s very pretty!
I think I could change my mind about automn if I would live in your place, lol ! Looks beautiful. But when I look out of the window here it is most of the days very foggy so that I can hardly see my neighbor’s house. I don’t even remember when the sky was blue ! and then the stripteasing trees ….
BTW Today I take the Cyber Cruise to the home of my friends in Italy which dates from 1462 ! It is really amazing !
What beauty surrounds you Maribeth. You are truly blessed.
Oooh, I am totally going to pick your brain once I get brave enough to try canning! Is it hard?
The photos of Arnie are uncanny, it is like he held the same pose! LOL He is such a handsome little guy ;x)
Your fall photos are so wonderful, and the apples & leaves are absolute stunning!!
I am loving Autumn too. I love this time of year.
Oooooh, the apples & leaves picture is spectacular!!!
