It’s Halloween Time at the Jeter Farm

Our Weekend Visit to the Jeter Farm

“Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.”
~William Woodsworth, 1806

Buddy and I had the best time. Thank you Tanya at Around Roanoke, VA,  for your post about the Jeter Farm, because without you we would not have known about it. She included lots of information about the farm if you would like to learn its history. Everyone there was a CHILD...little ones, medium sized ones, and old ones like me. Bud and I did it all. Everyone was HAPPY. No one was yelling at anyone else. No children were crying. People were so polite to one another. IT WAS MAGICAL. We went thru the corn maze, rode the hay ride, children shot ears of corn from an air gun, we shot pumpkins into the pond (we both overshot the water) from an air pumpkin canon, ate Jeter home grown beef hamburgers with roasted corn, walked all over looking at the wee ones have such a good time, and I even went down the hill slide...and my back survived the rough landing at the bottom :-) None of the pictures need any words. They say it all without them. We all need more days like this one. A bit of old fashioned happiness is good for everyone.

Mr. Halloween and His Warning ~ DP 11-1-12

This sign was hanging in a hostel where Buddy was staying on his hike in Maine this summer. It may not be the best piece of photography, but I think is has to be one of the funniest. 

Here's Bud as Mr. Halloween for the kiddies Trick or Treating in town this afternoon. What a good sport! He's sitting in the window of the outfitter's store with his candy in hand.

Memories of Last Year's Halloween

I was looking through my Halloween pictures, and up popped this one from last year. I posted it then, but I just HAD to post it again it is so cute. Leave it up to my Gene and Eloise to pull this one off. I am wondering what they will come up with year to top it. Here's hoping "Sandy" does not hit Richmond with such rain and wind that Halloween has to be postponed or cancelled. 

SANDY UPDATE: Only rain last night. No 60 mph gusts so school is session today. Now the weather gurus say the bad stuff is coming late this afternoon, tonight, and tomorrow. We shall see. At least we are prepared. Hope all of you in the northeast - coastal and interior areas/states - are OK and safe. I am thinking of you. 

Saturday Morning Walk after Our First Snow ~ October 29, 2011

A Saturday Morning Walk

The sun was sending its rays down onto the road. The snow had already was pretty much gone...only posture left.

Do you see the dog crossing it?


~~~~~~~~~~


Here are a few more shots from last Saturday morning’s walk.

One of the dirt roads running off of our main road 

and down to the creek. These gravely one have more snow on them than the ones that are used all the time.

When we are walking the road, 

we walk alongside Kerrs Creek.

As we are hoofing it up and down the road, this is one of the views we have of Big House and Little House Mts. 

Finally, here is a single leaf floating atop the water left from the snow in the middle of the road in front of me.

"There is no season such delight can bring
As summer, autumn, winter and the spring."
