It's almost the end of August already!

I mean school has started and everything!.  And I haven't blogged since the beginning of the month.  Wow!  - Have I been busy!

What have I been doing that's kept me away from the computer???

Well, there's always the chickens to take care of.......

And the birds and deer to feed........

And the garden has been going bonkers............

Tomatoes have needed canning (the ones that didn't make it into Pep's BLT's and summer pizzas)......

And, of course, the dogs have needed watching.  

Poor Spike is trying to stay out of trouble, just snoozing away, taking a little nap.  

Hunny and Stumpy were up to their usual mischief, rolling around and making noise while Mom & Dad were trying to talk and listen to the music.

Then they rolled into him.  Oh well, if you can't beat them, join them.  You ought to see the 3 way tug of wars over a sock.  Spike gets the knot in the middle and Stumpy and Hunny each get an end.  And little Stumpy can hold his own!

Somewhere in here, I've found time to make a trip to Dallas AND

to make "Pumpkins Days" - a Wallhanging Club offering.  If you belong to the club you should be getting yours soon.  If not, you can click on the name to go to the store to get yours.  

It has been a really nice summer this year in Missouri but I am ever so ready for Fall, as usual.
