Today I decided to take a little stroll outside here at our place and I took my camera along. Recently we have acquired some new faces at our house.

Here is Badger the mule, he was born this spring.
Fred traded our pony for Badger.
He was not being very cooperative for a photo session! He was too nosy!
Here is a pic of him when he was just a baby.

We are also babysitting a billy goat for Novalee and Darin.
He was being an annoyance to their nanniesso, for now he is roaming on our property.

We also have acquired two more yearling horses. They were born last summer about the same time our little grey Scooter was born.
Their names are Joker & Little Joe
(already named when we got them.)

That brings the count of horses on our property to 5. Plus one mule.

Someone recently gave Fred a bunch of chicks. Not sure how many but they are Banties.
We still have the two young calves
we had gotten earlier in the spring
they are getting nice and fat.

Their names are Sebastin and Falina

Fall and an almost winter look has arrived at the pond.

Here are a few leaves with a pretty red color. Most of the leaves, except in town, on Maple trees and ornamental shrubs, have pretty much turned brown.

Here is a view of our house and garage as seen from across the pond
