It's Autumn Time...

It's autumn time, it's autumn time! The days are long and warm...and the nights are coolish and the sun goes down much, much earlier. We actually have seen Grandpa a little bit now, because even his work is beginning to wind down...just like the leaves, the summer sun, and the length of the day. The oats on the Church Farm had not been cut on Sunday, but the hay in the field behind it had been, and was dry and yellow. The contrast was beautiful, so we hurried up for some time with nature and some fun pictures!

The kids had great fun playing on the wheel line and running through the oats. Isn't life the best?
The Buti's are having a good time running from one end of the field to the other. The freedom of the farm gets in your blood and it will always be there! You can take the kid out of the country, but you will never take the country out of the kid!
Jack and Rajko are having fun and entertaining each other!
Jack is the "big" older cousin who will always be there to take care of Rajko.
Noah just landed a new job at Allwest in Kamas as their Web Master. I think the Rasheta's are feeling as happy as the kids in the field!
Jack is having a great time exploring the country!
Isn't Chelsea beautiful! This year has been tough, and she has come through with shinning colors. Her spirit is as beautiful as she is!Evan loves farming -- whether it's in the backhoe, on the tractor, or climbing the wheel line.
The McNeil's are waiting excitedly for the arrival of "little girl we call Suzi." Evan will be such a good big brother!


What handsome boys those Gunner boys are! They enjoy giving this autumn season their all!
Have you ever seen such "Buti"ful girl! Not only are they beautiful, but they are talented, really good girls!
What a great family and growing up so fast. I think Ellie Jo and Tess will both be good babysitters for the new little Buti on it's way!
And here were are -- just the three of us in this Autumn season, living, loving and enjoying this time of our lives and all of our children and grandchildren. What a beautiful season!

I absolutely love those pictures...I'm so glad we went up and took them! Yes, we are as happy as ANY little kid could be. What other choice do we have? Everything is just too good to not be happy.

It's been a beautiful warm indian summer, but I think the cool cool Fall is just around the corner. :(

I love autumn time in the country and love the country in autumn time. I flat out love the country, minus the deer completely destroying my trees. But when you live in the middle of a alfalfa patch what else could you expect. The girls do love living here and experiencing all the country has to offer!

How did we miss this post? We certainly love the country and the wonderful people who live here. We couldn't be more blessed!

Yes, it definitely is a beautiful time of year up there! But really, what time of year there isn't???? I'm so glad we got to be there for the chokecherry festival and for the wonderful times with everyone!
Love you!
