Autumn Day

Autumn day in Kentucky started out very foggy here at my house. Then the sun came out and it was a beautiful day, so we went for a drive. We drove up to General Butler State Park. Saw lots of pretty leaves. Went for a short walk with out dog, Ziva.

This this beautiful doe posed for me to take photos of her.

 Then we drove down to the Ohio River and saw this German Shepherd dog going for a boat ride. I don't think Ziva would do that.

The clouds over the river were big white fluffy ones. Not the normal ones you see around here.

There were a few wild sunflowers blooming along the edge of the river.

Halloween At My House

I raised these pumpkins and decided to draw faces on them instead of carving them.

We have lots of hickory trees in and near our yard. There are hickory nuts, and acorns everywhere. The hickory nuts come off the tree about as big as a golf ball. They come apart in quarters revealing a white nut in the center (see one in center of photo with a piece of grass over it). Then you or a squirrel has to peel the white outer part to find the eatable part. The squirrels and other rodents and critters that eat nuts should have a good harvest this fall from the amount that is on my grass and driveway. Have to sweep the drive of nuts once a week or so as they don't make for easy walking.

Hay Bale Critters

A farm near me makes hay bale animals and a tractor for the Halloween as well as putting out ghosts, a witch hanging from a power pole like she hit it, and walking dead people. It is right on the road so everyone can see it. What a wonderful idea.
