We enjoyed our walk. The changing of the leaves continue to impress us. Below  are the trees around the retention pond

 The 8 pounds of hamburger were browned, drained then the spaghetti sauce added and only when that was warm did I start layering the sauce,  noodles and 3 cheeses into two crockpots. That was cooking by 10:00 am. Then it was time to clean the barn for the cousins but as I started working I could hear a smoke alarm chirping. I tracked that down. It was upstairs in bedroom . Thankfully we had an extra 9 volt battery. I just needed to get the 8 foot ladder out of the bunk room closet and haul it to bedroom 1, climb the ladder, take out the old battery and install the new.         

 

As long as the ladder was out I thought I could rehang the light on the bunk room but after struggling with that for about a half hour my arms were just too tired so that was left for someone else to repair.

 I went home to finish cleaning at our house when Berlica arrived to tell me the 2 foals were out running in the field. She helped me move Harli and Tessa over to the paddock next to Valiant and their foals followed. They will need to stay in there until I can figure out how they escaped. It was sunny and warm and the foliage is beautiful so I asked Berlica if she would hop on Penny for some fall pictures.  Below are those and they turned out well
