Fall has fallen

Now that Madeline is such a champ at sitting, we thought it would be a good time to start using her wagon. The wagon is made from walnut harvested from my Grandpa's (Herbert Funk) farm and Grandpa B helped with the construction. It's a beautiful thing. The wagon ride wasn't long -- just across the street to "help" Josh corral the neighbor's runaway puppy -- but Madeline seems to really enjoy this new perspective on the world.


This weekend we also took advantage of the moderate temps and did more work in the yard. What started out as a simple project to plant bulbs and transplant some flowers and shrubs to the massive area under our pine trees has turned into a multi-week effort. Somehow Josh convinced Curtis to come over to help remove the many layers of pine straw in that bed so that I could begin planting the bulbs. So now the daffodils are planted. The transplanting and the re-mulching remains to be completed. And I still have two other flowerbeds to prep before the winter sets in. Egads - I hope the warm-ish weather hangs on for a few more weeks!
