Halloween has come and gone.  Today we decided it was time to put poor Ben out of his misery and put him in the the ewes.  Before that could happen we had to catch our lone ewe lamb from amoung the ewes and get her out of the pen.  I tried grain - no go.  We tried moving them into a corner - nope.  They charged us or jumped over us.  Dennis tried to lasso her, to no avail.  After slipping and sliding around the pen we finally gave up and went inside.  Dennis made popcorn and I made cinnamon buns.  We spent the day watching season 1 of Downton Abby and eating.  It was just one of those kind of days. 

We had one neighbour kid come trick or treating.  I gave her a bag of goodies for her 2 brothers too.  That was it. 

Dennis hung up our 2 ghosts in the tree at the gate, then put the porch light covers on that look like pumpkins.  A few decals on the door and we were good to go.  But here are some pictures of Rebecca's house which was all decorated when I was there.


Isn't the cat hilarious?  I laughed out loud when I saw it! 


Rebecca has some nifty decals - they're really cute and stick well to the window.  Time for me to upgrade mine!

It looks like Amigo will be arriving back here tomorrow.  His people have to move to town as they are just unable to manage out here in the winter.  It is too bad, but that is just the way it goes.  So, we're now on the lookout for a new home for Amigo.  He's a great dog so we'll make sure he gest some great people!
You'll note that the above picture was taken prior to the dump of snow we got a few days later.  Autumn is so incredibly wonderful here, but this year it was cut short.  It annoys me when I wait a whole year for fall - no bugs, no scorching heat, just fresh, crips air and beautiful colours, only to have it snuffed out with a foot and a half of snow.  Well, nothing we can do about it so I'm off to bed.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.  More lamb rodeo, I expect.
