Note to Self – Do Not Start Turning the RAV4 Before Leaving the Garage
~~~ Wednesday, October 13 ~~~ I was ready to leave to take a neighbor to a doctor appointment when a delivery truck pulled in behind our garage. He had several boxes, so I went outside to ask if he could back up so I could get out of the garage. Apparently my mind was not […]
Applebee’s for Lunch
~~~ Monday, October 18 ~~~ We enjoyed lunch at Applebee’s by using part of a gift card given to Cerwin for some of the maintenance work he has done at the TFC Global Office for the past few years. Thank you! He recently stopped doing the mowing, snow removal and minor maintenance and turned it […]

More on the Cornfield Below Our Yard
~~~ October 16, 20, 21, 22 ~~~ This is continued from the nighttime photos I posted yesterday. By Saturday morning (16th) we had a view again. 🙂 Corn stubble and cobs after the corn was harvested.

Corn Harvest in Neighboring Fields
~~~ Friday, October 15 ~~~ This corn had been harvested four days earlier, now it was time for our neighbor across the road to bale and pick up the corn fodder.

Preparing Cornstalks for the Cattle’s Bedding
~~~ Tuesday Evening, October 12 ~~~ The corn has been harvested, now the neighbor across the road is chopping the leftover cornstalks and cobs in preparation for corn fodder bales.

Pretty Chrysanthemum and Hairy Woodpecker
When I tried to spell chrysanthemum, I understood why the name has been reduced to the nickname “mum”. 🙂 I bought this mum last fall so there would some beauty at our front door after the summer flowers in the doorway pot were no longer looking pretty. I was surprised that it survived the winter […]
Harvesting Corn Across the Road
~~~ Monday, October 11 ~~~ It was easy to hear this equipment about 10 am. Don’t ask me how this works, but the machine picks up the corn stalks, removes the corn from the cob, puts it in a bin and ejects the chopped corn fodder and cob out the back. Just to let you […]

Painting and Tree Trimming
Cerwin was determined to get a few things finished before winter – paint the two front doors and trim and the support section under our bay window, plus trim the redbud tree. His first job was to sand the wood that needed to be painted. It was beginning to look shabby. He chose a warm […]
