Fall Colors

The cold temperatures the past few nights and the bright sunlight today really have the colors starting to pop here in Kentucky. This is the view from Clyde and Jennie's backyard.



I hope there is still a leaf or two hanging on the trees when Jeff comes up for Thanksgiving. 

FLORIDA HALLOWEEN

Grandmaw's home has been invaded by a short little witch and a very small yet chunky turtle.

Ranger Boys

We have had a woderful Fall Break the boys have really enjoyed their Ranger we went to Somerset and purchased. They even enjoyed taking their momma on a ride through the field in front of the house.

We are still working on the garage but we are getting closer to getting it finished up. Hope everyone has a great October.

I will take some pictures soon of the beautiful fall leaves in the edge of the woods. I hope it makes Jeffery home sick for Kentucky!!

Head Scratchin'

I have no idea what is going on in this picture.

Maybe Shawn can explain it.

Smokey Mountain Maurader

While we were in the Smokies this raccon visited our chalet each night and dined on the contents of our garbage cans. Jennie watched him one evening, she said he was expert at getting the lids off the garbage cans. He could unlatch and pop the top off a can, all in one quick motion.

With the Stalker family there he was not getting much in the way of scraps, so Jennie tried feeding him some graham crackers.

Coon Huntin'

Popaw Stalker told a story about going “Coon Huntin” with Homer Adkins and Bear Justice.

Popaw and Homer had been bragging all week about what good shots they were and what good coon dogs they had. Homer would point his finger like a gun and say “Bang, thump, (Varmit hitting the ground after each shot) Bang, thump, that’s how it’s going to be.”

The dogs treed a big coon and they started shooting at it. They shot 27 times but still hadn’t even wounded it. When they gave up and stopped shooting (or ran out of ammo I suspect), the coon jumped down out of the tree and attacked their dogs (Walker and Snider) biting and clawing them till they were bloody all over. It would have killed both of them if Bear hadn’t hit it in the head with a stick. They had to just come on home and patch up the dogs.
