Firsts of the Season

It's that year again. The year of the pecans. Every other year our pecan trees provide us with bushels and bushels of yummy pecans. It usually takes us all winter to pick up the backyard. The neighbor kids down the street that used to help us out moved last year. Corinne, can you say "child labor?" Ha. Chloe and Terra join in the fun and choose to eat the pecans that we've already picked up and placed in the wheel barrow. They could at least help us out with the ones on the ground! Chloe particularly dines on pecans as long as you'll let her stay outside.


Now that the weather has finally turned cooler, we can break out the sweaters and afghans. Mimi just sent a fun package with a beautiful new crocheted sweater & hat set. She needed it today as our high reached a mere 62. Perfect timing and perfect stitching, Mimi! They both fit just right.

Corinne would like to introduce you to her first pumpkin. Mom and Dad carved away this weekend making sure that the teeth in the pumpkin reflected Corinne's mouth. She's now cutting her fifth tooth.
Next up...Halloween pics. Trick or treat, folks!

She is not only amazing but she's beautiful and she's belongs to all of us. The blog is wonderful, you both do such a great job. Floors look great, pecans look yummy and I'm missing you all.

Hilarious Corrine-O-Lantern. I guess she's no longer "toothless and ruthless" They grow so quickly! Good job Mimers on the crocheting. She looks like a lil' Southern Belle.
