Scouts and Leaves

A few weekends ago, Sean had a camp out with his scouts. He promised he would take pictures to document the fun:

They left the city at 8pm, well after dark.

Campfire fun.

Sean's bed.

 

Not everyone had fun...

Meanwhile, I stayed home. I started watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, but it started spooking me out with all of the "secret" and "safe" - ness. I ended up watching Persuasion. Probably more suited for an evening without a husband.

In the morning, I had a buddy come over to help  me rake leaves!

There she is! And that was one of 4 piles we created.

A productive weekend!

Ah Nuts!

Some weeks ago, we discovered one of the trees in the back yard is a pecan tree! Cool yeah?

With leaves.

Without leaves.

We also met our neighbor. I call him Theodore. Sean calls him Teddy.

Our neighborhood crows also help pick the pecans for us. Super nice neighbors.

Who would have thought you could get so many nuts from a tree?? There is still a lot more too.

 

Long Weekend in Moab

We enjoyed our long weekend. New food was tried, a few projects accomplished, an unscheduled shopping trip to GJ happened, and some relaxing.

Three of my favorite/random shots from the weekend:

They still have pay phones off Main Street!

A cheerful reminder that it is the end of summer.

Horses to the side of one of the trails.

Oh, and this is our yard. We're still deciding what to do with it.... any thoughts??

The one room building at the back of our lot.
