The Coyote's have been calling.
Buzzard and hawk hover over, the deer eat my roses, the fox bask in the sun near the edge of the hollow...but in all the years that we have lived here- this is the first I have heard the Coyote make their eerie call. They wake me from my restless sleep and I fear for my chickens!
And here it November!
Did you vote on Tuesday? If you did, good job!
Life has been full and very busy here. The month of October whizzed by, never stopping for one second- I scarcely had time to breathe! Our baby turned 13 and I turned 29 all over again!!!! Just kidding, I am officially over the hill! But life is good and I can hardly believe how quickly these days go by. We celebrated LuLu's big event by hosting a Halloween/Birthday party. It was filled to the brim with fun and good food, the hubby even set up an amazing spook alley.
My sweet art group friends and I celebrated the month of October with our tradition of "witches night out". We dressed for the occasion and ate the best food ever. A fall feast of pork roast, rice, corn bread muffins and sweet potatoes simmered with apple cider spices, cream and butter-It was to die for good! Our creative affair was made complete with a sweet array of desserts and the crafting of festive Halloween cats. Fun times- I heart October!

Nothing quite as refreshing as a kittie with an attitude. I don't think I considered myself a cat person until now.

The kitties are all adorable. What fun they must have been to make (thanks for the link). I'd love to give your little kitty a home -- promise to take good care of her and make her the star of the show each Halloween!

Oh sweet Lorraine, everything you create is darling. Love the kitties, and what a treasure you were to sew and paint them for everyone!
I'm sure they were very fun to make!

Hi Lorraine,
Happy Birthday dear friend and to your sweet Lulu { you are both so beautiful.}
I loved to hear about the spooky alley and the witches night out, sounds like fun times.
I love the sweet cats you have all made.
I hope My Coyote moves away elsewhere, so you and your family and the sweet chickens can live in peace and quiet.
Have a beautiful weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
