Chicken Coup

 On a shelf in my downstairs closet sits my chicken collection. My Grandmother Brooks made this with great pride and sold them to those who liked these very patterned chickens. She passed away in 1973 leaving all the family members  with here crafted with love chicken.

Burning Bush

 The burning bush hasn't turned completely red but just a few leaves show what the color will look like in a few weeks. The red berries are not quite ripe so the birds aren't eating them yet.

Great Colors of Fall

 

Backyard Tree

 It is a pussy willow tree. I did not plant it but I have been dealing with its many problems ever since I bought the property. So soon the tree team is coming to remove it. It is a softwood tree and it keeps having chunks of it having to be cut out of it as they are dead. It has become too big and grass doesn't grow under it. 

Futtering Visitor

 While cutting the last of the zinnias for the season two of these small butterflies joined me. They liked the flowera that I was cutting for a bougquet.
