Happy October to all of you! I can not say that I was happy to scrape the windows on my car this morning! LOL We sure have had a lot of rain lately which has been good for the outside, but it sure makes things alittle wet and soggy for the humans and the animals.Its actually nice to see how the lawn is greening up with the rain, makes me sad that it will all be white soon enough. Can you believe that Deadwood, South Dakota has already had 4 feet of snow?
