Possum Manor is ready for Halloween. We have the lights; we have the pumpkins; we have the candy….Er, change that….we did have the candy.  Practical Halloween tip: do not buy candy you like.

As soon as it stops raining I will go take some pictures of the millions of leaves…off the trees. The road is slippery, [...]

This is a learning experience; I can tell you that.  We have lots of pieces, but not much actually put together. I think we finally figured out how to do angles.  A trapezoid is sturdier than a rectangle, but a rectangle would have been so much easier.
One side….

Another side….

This is not of the pets, though I am sure there is a dog some where in that valley.  I took this a few years ago, but just found it.

We were not happy to find Pippin asleep on the kitchen counter, but I took the picture before I kicked him off.

Butter Bean has become a woman…..
Note added: Only one of these eggs was laid by Butter Bean.  I must give credit  for the other to Lil Bean.

Oh it was soooo beautiful today. And a beautiful day means lots and lots of blogging fodder.  In fact, I have three days of topics.  Today’s topic is the wonderfully, sunny, colorful Saturday.

I keep taking video of Sprout, and then it is not on  the camera when I go to up load it. I will keep trying. I bribe them with cabbage, and even the mama comes for that, uncovering Little Sprout.

For pam, here are some videos of the new Sprout.

We have a baby!!!!  I thought the earliest the chick might arrive was today, but I went out this morning to give them fresh water and food, and I heard a “peep peep peep.” There it was…running around the chicken yard.
I looked in the chicken house, and this is what I saw:

Sprout is a little [...]
