pumpkins, chipmunks and boy scouts.

Howdy, all you blog friends.

October has already been a busy month for the Far Studios crowd. With the cooler weather comes long hikes, campfires and camping trips. It's also conference month at school and inventory building at the studio.

Evie is working hard on a special order table that is in a style new to Far Studios. We can't wait to see the finished product. She's also crafting small and smaller pumpkins that are sure to grace many a mantle or flower pot this fall.

We have been hiking the Arabian mountain and Panola trails this week. Such beauty made so accessible by the good folks in Dekalb county, Georgia. We've seen deer, tons of vocal chipmunks, squirrels, snakes, and bugs. We even ran in to signs of a beaver population today.

God's creation is so varied and beautiful that we find ourselves thanking and praising Him every minute of every day. What a great and glorious God we are privileged to serve!

The Boy Scouts have been busy these last two months with many projects including the wonderful Weebloree at Burt Evans Scout Reservation. It does our hearts good to see how the older scouts teach and look after their young Cub brothers. Scouting has had 100 years of growing boys into responsible, productive and giving men. Our thanks to all who have given their time, energy, finances and caring to this worthwhile endeavor.

Does anyone know how many different sounds a chipmunk can make?

Bye 'til next time!
