October knitting with a little of this and that

Finally, a year after the big hail storm, the house is getting its make over. Hubby has been busily working hard to get a few things done before the siding goes up.

The next day their Mom joined us for an hour's ride to Papa's Pumpkin Garden for a fun afternoon.  Kiddos played in the cornbox. Sunday there was more baking, and we were off to watch Sadie ride horses, and the Tiger carefully shot his BB-gun while I cuddled barn cats! We
