Playing with Tractors

These pictures were taken at our little County Fair that we had a couple of weeks ago. As soon as the boys saw these tractors...they got excited. :) They were the "big boy tractors". :) So, I decided that I would get some photos of them playing on them, and they loved every second of it. :)  The tires on the Harvester were soooo big, that Matthew could sit right inside of it! Matthew said that as soon as we are able to move onto bigger property, he wants to get a tractor. :)

Blessings!

Lazy Days In Ohio...

The days just keep on getting shorter and shorter, and the leaves are gradually getting all of their beautiful fall colors on. The animals are getting lazy and the insects are getting ready for the cold weather that is just knocking on our door. I love fall and all of its wonders! :) It is my most favorite season, and I always look forward to it. :)  I mean, just the way it smells is wonderful! :)  Autumn in Ohio is awesome... especially in Amish Country. All of the bright colored leaves falling from their trees, the smell of someone baking a fresh Apple or Pumpkin pie, walking through a large pumpkin patch, and drinking hot Apple Cider... it is all something to look forward to. :)  I just keep on counting down the days until the actual day... :)

Have a Blessed day!

Matt and the Turtle...

We found this little Turtle in a Library parking lot a couple days ago. We brought it home and Matthew ran up to his room and brought down his book on Turtles, and we all had a wonderful time trying to find out what kind of Turtle it was. Well, he found out that it was a baby 'Snapping Turtle'. Matthew was so proud that he was able to figure out what kind it was all by himself. :) He even went down to the creek that is next to our house (with the handy-dandy book by his side) and  found all of the things listed that the Turtle ate, lived in, etc. :) He had a blast and in the end learned a whole bunch on Snapping Turtles! :)
