Oct 7th - Tomorrow is Moving Day

It was another beautiful day here. I took these photos yesterday morning. I was standing by the side of Tom & Mary Lou's house looking out over their lake.

This morning Kathy was sitting outside, I was just getting out of bed, and she heard some rustling down the drive towards T & ML's. She walked out into the drive and just  a short way down the drive a deer was standing. She stood still and watched four deer cross the driveway. They had probably been down at the lake getting a drink.

This morning I went to Crossville with Tom to pick up a riding mower that he is to repair. Later, while he was bush hogging the garden I cut down a couple of small pear trees (5" trunks). Before I got back down there after lunch he had already pulled up the stumps and hauled the trees out into the woods. The pear trees were supposed to be real pear trees but after a several years of fruit the size of the end of your thumb, and nasty thorns, they figured it was time to get rid of them.

Later while Tom tilled the garden, he has a tiller on his tractor, I ran through a tank and a half of gas doing some weed eating.

In the evening Tom built a fire and we roasted hot dogs tonight. The moon was about three quarters full and it was beautiful out. As you can see, Tom doesn't fool around when he builds a fire to roast hot dogs.

We have had a really good time here but it is time to move on. Tomorrow morning we are heading toward southeast Missouri. We will take our time and take two days to get there. We will be volunteering at Logan Valley Christian Retreat in Ellington, MO. http://www.loganvalley.org/

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
