Two mystery pictures. What could they be? Take a guess, then look at the answers to see if you got it right.

YAY! Snow in November! And even 4 inches of snow in November! That was enough snow for a lot of fun. We went sledding, made a snowman (and not just your ordinary snowman), and just played around.
Here is the snowman we made – he is 16 feet around! (And yes, we measured.) We proclaimed him a Thanksgiving snowman because of his, well, stoutness from eating too much Thanksgiving dinner. ☺ His arms are tomato stakes, his nose is a corncob, his eyes are made from oreo halves, and his smile is some smooth stones.

I also got some neat pictures of snowflakes. I zoomed them in a bunch so you can see the shape of the snowflake better. The snowflakes are all in a clump, but I circled some interesting spots in the pictures so you can see the individual snowflakes better.

♥Diamond by the snow (or else it’s Rutabaga, it’s getting hard to tell them apart)♥
How much snow did you get? What did you do in the snow?

Here are some pictures from recent nature walks around our farm:
I thought this mullein looked pretty with the dewdrops on it.
We saw a lot of gorgeous bluebirds in one spot where we walked. I ♥ bluebirds!
This is sort of a random picture.
A little brown moth sitting on a little brown leaf
Spider!
We also found some salamanders under logs and such in the woods.
Awww, isn’t he cute? (Sorry for the not-so-good picture, but I wanted you to see him☺)
We also found good-smelling things, not just good-looking ones. This is pineapple weed and it smells deliciously fruity.
Does anyone know what this is called? I call it peppermint weed because it smells really minty! I know it looks really ugly, but it smells sooo good. I wish I could send you the smell!
Fungus among us!
I took this picture laying down in the woods with my camera pointing up. I like the interesting angle on this one.
Which is your favorite picture?

I know, another bunny post – but I can’t help it! They’re too cute!
************************************************************************************************************
This is Rutabaga with her ears down. Did you recognize her?
Do we have a walrus here?
Honeybunny doesn’t look too pleased. (My sister took this picture.)
And last, but not least…
“Friends Forever”

Do you want a bunny yet?

While I was sitting at the computer, I saw this spider. He was actually pretty small, but I cropped the pictures so you can see all kinds of fascinating (and creepy!) details.
Look at his palpi (the little fuzzy feelers in front of his face)!
And look at those eyes – creepy, huh?
Do you see those little orange spots?
I hope you enjoyed looking at a spider for once!

P.S – If anyone knows what kind of spider this is, I’d be glad to know!
Fall has arrived here at our house. You can easily tell if you look at our gorgeous trees. Like always, the pictures aren’t as good as the real thing, but they give you a pretty good taste of it.
There are a lot of fun things to do with fall: Make pretty leaf-and-acorn pictures or arrangements (inside or outside),
Make leaf piles (of course),
And let your bunnies play in the leaf piles. This is my rabbit, Honeybunny. She loved burrowing through the pile and hiding in the leaves. Is she not ADORABLE?
What do you like about fall?

We have several mums around our house, and one bush has a bi-colored flower on it.
It’s the only flower like it on the bush, and I haven’t noticed any other bi-color flowers.
Isn’t it neat?

I’ve been having fun taking close-up pictures of my family’s eyes. It’s amazing what they look like up close!
This one is my dad’s eye,
This is my mom’s,
And this is my mom’s other eye. I showed both because they’re each different. Can you tell?
This is my brother Logan’s,
This is my brother Jefferson’s,
This is my sister Megan’s,
This is my sister Carmen’s,
And this is mine!
Aren’t they beautiful? It’s so fun to see the hidden colors and patterns.
Have fun looking!
