November

I got this plant when I broke my leg ten years ago.  It finally bloomed!

                                   We got a bag of pecans from friend and shelled about 2 quarts.

                                                      Yes, Tigger is working hard again.

                                                        The trusses for the shop arrive.

                                                     Dawn moves manure to the garden.

The trusses are up!  Roofing and siding come in a few days.

Utah enjoys the sunny day.

Whats going on at the Modugno's?

Tigger hard at work

Dad puts the roof on the woodshed.  Notice the old poles we used for

the corners—not a good idea, nothing was square—Dad was not happy.

 

The dogs go sunbathing.

We took down the old spring cover, all rotted and rusted.  Now we can see the spring.

The next morning, a blue heron was fishing there.

We have collected over nine buckets of walnuts(husks still on) and one whole bucket of

shelled Hickory nuts.  All those years of shoveling hickory nuts and now we hope to eat them!!!!

 

Some cool bright yellow and orange fungus.

Ed and Bobby by the new well.  We have well water!! No more chlorine!

 

Gary starts to dig the foundation for the new shop!  Yahoo!
