Tuesday

I made Amish Baked Oatmeal for breakfast this morning! It is a soft warm granola...we like it with fresh strawberries on top! A family favorite!

The leaves are just starting to turn here...it has been a beautiful fall..except for the bugs! My favorite time of year is right after the first freeze when all the bugs are gone and we have the warm summer days and cool evenings..and did I mention..NO bugs!!

Alex has been a working machine this fall! He helped put up all the new fence behind the house the last week or so..that involved several afternoons and evenings til after dark of putting in posts and running electric rope and snapping on connectors and clearing weeds and running for flashlights and screwdrivers and whatever else his dad needed! He was incredible!

Yesterday he went out and took down all the old fence and cleaned up the yard...wrapped up the old wire and put away the posts and connectors...then helped get our pool taken down..all that in between school and all his regular chores! Thanks Alex!
