Autumn Display

I love fall!  I really like collecting interesting leaves and cool rocks.  But I also like collecting "deer eggs".  Mommy and daddy say that they are acorns, but they are like eggs because they have a hard shell and contain the seed for growing a baby plant.  I call them deer eggs becuase they are the deer's favorite food.  Maybe that's why we have so many deer around- we have lots of trees in our yard that produce the acorns. 
Here's my display of cool acorns along with a pupkin that Granmimi grew for me.  Thanks Granmimi!  We have named the pumpkin "Archie".  I also have two nice pinecones and I am always looking for more. 
The workmen recently put rails on the bridge.  This is good because now the puppies and I are allowed to play out there.  We're not in danger of falling off the edge anymore.  Skye and Denali love hanging out on the bridge while I collect rocks in the driveway and daddy works on the lawn, pulling "bad plants" (weeds).

Hi Sophie,
Fall is my favorite time of year. Archie the pumpkin is wonderful and I can certainly understand why all your deer friends like the acrons in your yard. How is the apple tree doing? I so enjoyed taking walks to the apple tree with you this summer. Katie loves the out-of-doors too- I am sure that you, Kate, Harper and Laura will have fun playing in the fall leaves and climbing the hills at Spring Creek.
Love, Ada
