This October has seemed likee no other October on record. We haven't had much if any rain and it has been in the 70's or higher all month. Since we have had nice weather, we decided to get out and enjoy it before it turns cold and gloomy for 3 or 4 months.
We didn't realize when we bought our house, just how many walnut trees were on it. Brandon counted 29 one day and finally stopped counting. With so many trees comes a gazillion walnuts, so we headed out a couple of nights a few weeks ago and started picking them up. We want to teach Matney about responsibility and that money isn't always easy to come by without a little hard work. 4 adults and 1 toddler later, we made $33.00 for Matney to put in her college account.
Needless to say, I don't think the lesson was hard learned! She spent the nights running around and playing. Maybe next year she will be better at picking :)

Matney was gifted a cute little holstein calf from Nannie B and Papa G back in the spring (I don't have any pictures of him for some reason) and we recently sold him after getting him all grown up big and fat. He was quite the money maker for Miss Matney when he sold for $750. Matney has really been adding to her college fund in the last few weeks which makes for a very happy momma!
