Having a party? Go to the “free store” — woods, gardens, creekbanks, roadsides. That’s where all the best stuff can be found! Why pay for decorations when Nature so beautifully provides? Put branches with colorful leaves in vases. Cut wildflowers and late garden flowers. (Weeds are wonderful!) Grab pumpkins and gourds and fodder shocks from the garden.

The Chickens in the Road party is today! If you’re coming– Welcome! If you’re not– I’ll have pictures soon.

Little’s already hiding. He’s never been to a party before!

P.S. If you’re not having a party, decorate for yourself! Get outside and capture autumn. It’s waiting for you!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Very nice tribute to my hometown Suzanne. The small town feel is one of the reasons we returned to Spencer for our retirement. I grew up here (until I was 15) and like many others, never returned af... - twiggityNDgoats on A Small County
