THIRTY-NINE

Homecoming door decorations. We got 3rd place for the Grammar School building! 

2025 week thirty-nine

Lords, Ladies, and Peasants day. I was so grateful for my friend who offered to let me borrow her Regency get up for the day. 

Fandom Day. I carried my Felicity doll around with me all day as a fan of American Girl. 

Fandom Day: Theo a fan of the Braves, V a fan of Stranger Things. She was very proud of her Eleven outfit. 

She's a bit obsessed with Stranger Things at the moment. This is what I came back to after carline. 

V and the cutest little future Founders student. 

V's team won their first game for the season! They have been working so hard and improving. 

I told the kids I had to mow the lawn once more before they could decorate for Halloween. On Sunday morning they were unleashed to do their worst. 

They were very proud of their set up. 

I started my fall planting today. I got starters of broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. In the time it took me to set the starts by the garden, get my gloves and spade, the chickens had descended on them and were shredding them! I set up all the gating I could, and during dinner we see the turkey just stroll up and stick her head through the bars and start chomping away at the cauliflower. 

We had Kip chase the birds into the coop and I went out to see the damage. 2/3rds of the cabbage are now stumps. They also ate all my chives. That has never happened before. I thought chickens didn't care for alliums... Beastly birds. 

We had our Hobbit Dinner tonight. I like to make the meal the Hobbits ate when they stayed the night at the Prancing Pony, to mark the beginning of fall. "In a twinkling the table was laid. There was hot soup, cold meats, a blackberry tart, new loaves, slabs of butter, and half a ripe cheese: good plain food, as good as the Shire could show..."
