Fall Fun At Wheeler Farm

Last week we decided to get in the spirit of fall and go to Wheeler Farm. It was great fun. We picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, painted our pumpkins, decorated cupcakes to look like spiders, watched the blacksmith make a horseshoe, made scarecrows, fed the ducks and of course hung out with our cousins Ashton and Bentley. We had so much fun that when we were done at the farm, we went to Bentley's house for some pizza. We are now offically excited for Halloween!

The Challenge Of A Scarecrow

So seriously, how hard can it be to put together a scarecrow? Well let me tell you it's trickier than you think! Alicia, Jessie and I thought it would be a piece of cake. It was actually hilarious. We tried to follow the not so very detailed directions and we did our very best. This is what we came up with. Actually they looked pretty good. We were very proud, until we got to the car when they sort of fell apart. Now they are all put together and you can see them on display in our front yards.

Our New Friends

I am sure you are all aware of the moose, deer, snakes, squirrels and voles we have had visit and live in our yard. Well, we now have three more little friends to add to that list. The Rasch's would like to introduce you to "Dale". He and his friends Chip and Lucy are new residents in our rocks. I have been informed that Chip and Dale have the yellow chest and Lucy has white, because she is the girl. It's kind of amazing that we got a picture of Dale, these darling little chipmunks are the fastest things you have ever seen! They are so busy collecting food for the winter they have to be exhausted. They work all day long. We are hoping they are just going through a growing spurt and not collecting lots of food for a long winter!
