October...

...is hunting season, and the Farmer's BFF has returned Buck Fever to our house.  Here's a picture of  A.C. with his first antelope, EVER, and the two brilliant guides he managed to "hire".  

We're teasing him a little about the hamburger load in his gun...

Maggie was thrilled to be included and is all about eating antelope heart.  Her camera now has pictures of gut piles which she shows to anyone who will look.  

We're so proud....

And actually, this is REALLY a good buck.

(Even before it was photoshopped...)

We've been watching the Red Sox make their run to the World Series, and due to the lucky shirts and crossed fingers, they're IN!!!  YES!  A-a-a-a-n-d there goes a week of evenings, starting tomorrow, while they play the St. Louis Cardinals.  First couple games at Fenway, folks...tune in to see greatness and the Green Monster!

When our kids go on field trips, it's literal.  We haul them out to a field, throw them together with all the other country schools and let them dig in the dirt for dinosaurs. 

(Maggie and Angus are on the far left.)

Other parts of the country have trees for fall color...we just have great sunsets and bored cows.  I don't know this one, personally, but she's grown fond of grazing near our yard in the evenings.  When I went out to try to take a picture of the golden hills, she assumed the "gorgeous cow" pose and worked it.

There you go...
A condensed version of a small life in a big pasture.

(It's the best I could do, Steve Brock!)
