Shut the Front Door ... Days 275 thru 304 ... The wild days of October

I know what you're thinking.

"Gee...it's been a really long time since we've heard from that crazy woman".

 

My last post was on Oct 1st believe it or not.
I've only started this post about 5 times but then I would get distracted and next thing I knew I was a few weeks behind again.

I'm not going to torture you with a full 3 months worth of pictures in one post.
I have decided to break up this post into 3 segments and only torture you 3 more times this year.
Well, maybe 4 more times. I don't know yet.

I give you October....

 

Let start where we left off at
Day 275

Ahhh.

The good ole' days.

Warm temps, colorful leaves, and green grass.

 

Day 276

Another beautiful day on the hill.

 

Day 277

Raining but hey....no snow!

 

Day 278

And...so it begins...

No pictures.

 

Day 279

No pictures.

I must have been really busy.

Yea, that's it.

My story and I'm sticking to it.

 

Day 280

Started out very gloomy.

 

Today was the last day I picked from my garden.

A bowl full of peas and yellow beans.

Not bad for October.

 

I was just finishing up in the garden when this downpour chased me back to the house.

 

Day 281

Another beautiful day.

 

Day 282

Gorgeous sunrise today.

 

It's been a little while since I've thrown in a picture of an old barn.

It's just down the road from my house.

 

Another one of my favorite shots.

Going forward, looking back.

 

Day 283

No "Shut the Front Door" pic today...

but this was my view on my way home from work.

Can you say, "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire"?

Amazing colors.

 

Day 284

No Front Door picture again today.

It would have been a nice day for a walk in the park.

Unfortunately the park is closed for the season.

 

Day 285

Gorgeous day for sure.

 

Day 286

Another beautiful clear day.

 

Amish barn in the corn field.

 

And...today the new rake for the bulldozer was delivered.

Makes for one really mean lookin' machine.

 

Day 287

Do I hear fog horns?

 

Day 288

Overcast with a slight bit of sunshine peeking through here and there.

 

Day 289

A dramatic sunset.

 

Day 290

No pictures today.

 

Day 291

And...again today.

 

Day 292

Pffffbbttt...and again today.

Pathetic.

 

Day 293

Sun coming out after the rains.

 

Day 294

No pictures.

 

Day 295

Peaceful sunset.

 

Day 296

Cloudy and cold with a chance of new shed.

 

Day 297

And then came winter.

Cold, wet, heavy, snow dropping by the bucketfulls.

 

Day 298

What a cool mix of clouds, sun, and snow here.

 

The white birch tree was having a really hard time adjusting to the change in weather.

 

The chickens and dog aren't too impressed either.

 

Day 299

Gloomy.

Nuff said.

 

Day 300

(like it's some sort of milestone or something)

A busy weather day for some reason.
Freezing rain, mixed with sleet and snow, and a sprinkle of sunshine thrown in for good measure.

It all ended with a dramatic sunset.

There are the strangest things in my rearview mirrors.
Anybody else have this problem?

Day 301

Believe it or not it's actually 8:45 in the morning here.
Very dark and creepy.

Day 302

Much better.

We fired up the wood stove for the season.
That poor tent has seen much better days. We are trying to get at least one more winter out of it.

Day 303

Winter decided to blow in for another visit.

Day 304
Figures the last day of October...no pictures.


Thanks for sticking around for another long post.
My next one will be all of November's pictures.
Then my last post for this series (finally) with all of December's pictures.
