My morning helper:

Tina never minds being my model and I couldn't ask for a prettier one.

We were "borrowing" a neighbor's tree when we were walking around the block. It is one of the nicest trees in the neighborhood. Beautiful color in the autumn. The man who lived in the house (who passed away in 2010) told me he planted it when he moved to Clemson. He was a professor in the ag department at the university.

Piano Recital for the younger 4 today. They all did great.

Videos of them all are also up on YouTube. Here is one (the rest can be found on our YouTube channel, farmers1995):

Beautiful girls (and their sidekick) while walking around the block:

Second day of tree-cutting and Elijah is still very interested in all they are doing. He's a good supervisor.

We had a friend here today and she adores Tina.

Had some trees removed today. The kids were fascinated as you might imagine. After they cut this tree down, we counted the rings and it was about 67 years old. It was a big one and they just pulled the whole thing over.

This was so cute. After the tree fell, Elijah was pointing and "telling" the boys all about it.

Moved out front to watch them work on a tree at the front of the house.
