It seems like every morning the temperature is 60 degrees
and it was again today.
No fog today, just sun once it came up over the mountain.
Walked into town and straight down the main street.
Continued round the loop by the base ball park
and up the hill to the cemetery and around there.
Had enough miles under my belt by then so headed back home.
The soy beans here were harvested yesterday.
They don't waste much time once they get started.
Saw a couple of blue jays this morning and some more chipmunks.
Those chipmunks sure move fast.
When I got home I looked up how fast they can run.
33 miles per hour. Pretty fast for such little things.
An uneventful walk but those are nice.
I did stay inside this morning and got some work done.
Not all I wanted to but enough.
Ken dug the other 5 holes for the posts for the fence
and after lunch I went out and helped him put the posts in the holes.
My job was to level them and hold them in place while Ken filled in the holes.
I painted the posts and Ken put the chain on them.
Here is the finished project.
The big white propane tank now sits here behind this fence that Ken made
with left over siding from the house.
Plan on reading tonight.
My book club meets Thursday at 11:30 and I still have half the book to read.
Hope your day was a happy one.
Life is Good

I like that perspective looking up at the house.
The chipmunks are busy right now getting their winter quarters fully stocked. Soon you won't see them at all.
...a nice view up!
I especially love that last picture, looking up into the tree tops.
Oh wow! I love the new fence! All that stone is so pretty and goes so well with the colors in your house. Looks like you are in the mountains. Thank you for showing the new fence.
I was wondering what was behind the fence. I've seen them really close to a house before, that would make me scared for the most part.
That was a good idea, 'hiding' the propane tank with a fence matching the house.
Your house and property are starting to look like they've been there a while. Hiding the propane really makes it a much prettier view.
Chipmunks are so fun to watch and are so cute. I used to see one around here a lot but haven’t seen one in a couple years but that might be because of a couple cats in the neighborhood that want to roam around.

Love that last picture, so colorfull.
Putting up posts for fences is dangerous. Be careful. I did it once. Never again. I held the post upright and said to my colleague, "When I nod my head, hit it with the hammer!" I nodded. He hit my head!!!
God bless.
Hello, I have a few chipmunks here, they do run fast. Your fence is nice and I like the rock wall. Enjoy your day and have a great week ahead.
Great job on making the screen for the propane tank.
It's the details that make homes and properties look so neat and tidy :)
Love the fence with the chain as well..very nice.
Smiles :)

Ken's stonework and the chain fence is really very nice! You have some pretty color going on too, it looks like. Still waiting here. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Your house looks gorgeous! I like the fence with chains.
It sounds like you are enjoying the fall weather, Karen.
Nice idea to hide the tank from view. It looks real nice and matches the house.
Hi Karen, I need your snail mail address! Your home and fences are looking great. Proud of you and Ken for all you do, and how well you do it. I've had a hard time proving I'm not a robot so have not been able to comment lately Hope it works today! MJ
Good to hide the tank. What a big house!
That’s a nice disguise for the propane tank. The posts and rock wall look great. Love that last photo...that’s nice color and birch is always pretty.
