Halloween

I like the Halloween Holiday. I like decorating, and someday it's going to be fun to dress my kids up in cute Halloween costumes. I also traditionally watch the movie Hocus Pocus every Halloween. This movie is corny, and was made back in 1994, but it's just a tradition that I have, and that I will share with my kids someday.

I also am looking forward to handing out candy this year for trick or treaters. Last year we lived in a locked apartment complex, so we didn't really have a chance to hand out candy. This year we are looking forward to it. I have to work a night shift, so I can't help out with it too much, but hopefully there will be some kids to the house before I have to leave.

In the spirit of Halloween we did put up a little bit of decoration to hopefully welcome some trick-or-treaters.

Favorite New Fall Show

I really enjoy when new fall TV shows start. There always seems to be one that grabs my attention. This fall, my favorite new show is Revenge on ABC. This show is basically a guilty pleasure. It is about a girl who moves to the Hamptons and her whole purpose is to get revenge on the people who wrongly put her dad in prison.

I don't know why I like it so much, I think it's the wonderful dresses/outfits that the characters get to wear as well as a storyline that keep my interested. I have always like  Emily Van Camp as an actress as well. So if you are looking for a guilty pleasure show, try this one. It on Wednesdays at 9:00 pm central time.

Harvest Time!

For the last couple years, John and I have gone to Minnesota to help with the fall harvest. And by that, I mean we chisel plow or chop stalks for a few hours. I thoroughly enjoy driving tractor, so I really don't look at it as work. I enjoy the feeling of helping with harvest, and I get to it while listening to the radio and enjoying the fall season!

This year was especially fun because my dad bought a new tractor that has GPS in it. It is amazing! I chisel plowed with this tractor and the only time I actually had to drive was on the turns. As long as you are going in a straight path, the GPS will literally allow the tractor to drive itself. It is amazing how far technology has come in the last few years. Here are some pics of the inside of the tractor and the GPS.

Like I said, it's pretty fancy. I spent pretty much all day Saturday chisel plowing and I plowed an entire field, I think Dad said it was about 80 acres. Anyway, call me crazy but I enjoyed it. This was my view for most of Saturday.

While I was chisel plowing, John was chopping stalks all day. So, on Sunday we switched, I chopped and John chisel plowed. We got a lot of tillage done for my Dad and brother, and I think they appreciated it. We only had a couple break downs over the weekend, and I mainly just watched while the repairs were made. What can I say, I am a city girl now! John and I had a great weekend on the farm!

On a side note, my family is now completely done with harvest, and we also enjoyed some of my mom's cooking while at home. And here is the new tractor from the outside. John Deere!

Fall!

I love the fall season. The crisp morning air, the changing colors, and of course the harvest season. The trees in our backyard are changing colors, and it is really beautiful!

Happy Fall :)
