Gathering The Moments - September 2014


September was a trip to visit Eric and the Amish in the Westby, WI area.
Cows, pastures, barns, flowers, signs, handcrafted items, etc.
I've already shown many of the other photos of chickens, goats, and other things, but here's one of my favorites, for the second time:

 Sam's rooster, peeking out from the coop
Yep, Donna, I think he does look like Donald Trump.


 I love the lines in the silo and the barn



September also took us a couple hours east to visit family in Wisconsin, the making of Oliver's baby blankie, visits with the kids, dinner with Carla's wonderful family (visit her at The River Flowing blog and see her boys' colorful schoolroom/playroom, above).  And this week our gorgeous northwoods are alive with color!

  4. Oh, your September was beautiful and blessed! Any time that we can enjoy the moments with family is golden, don't you think?

    You have such an eye for beauty...the beauty of the grand and also the everyday. I, too, appreciated the lines in the barn and silo, as well as the light and shadow in the rooster.

    Thank you for "gathering" with me this wonderful month of September!
