October First

Today was the picture perfect afternoon to ring in the new month, and start the count down to Wolfgang's first birthday.  One benefit to living in central Illinois is that we have plenty of farms and a wonderful local one with pumpkins. Raders Family Farm, will now be a part of our yearly family fall tradition.

 I felt like I was in Martha Stewart Magazine.

 Papa is stumped, sorry lame joke!

 Of course we took some home.

 Wolfgang loves his wheels.

What Makes A Collection?

 Collections are a complicated thing.  For one thing,  what makes a collection? Is it the amount? The thing itself?  What's hot at the moment?  The answer is, anything could be really.  The collecting rules that I have put in place for myself  are quite simple. More than three items means I collect it (I know it sounds silly, but hey I am making up the rules). The second rule is that there can be no repeats. To prevent myself from becoming a hoarder a couple years ago after I went on a Pyrex buying binge , I said no more doubles, if something breaks it breaks. Honestly, who needs four pink Pyrex pie plates?  Lastly, make sure it's something I really like, meaning just because a friend starts collecting something , does not mean I need to join in. With all that in mind , my collections must be objects I really like, not fifty of the same thing, and have meaning.

 Here are some of my collections, and a couple of Wolfgang's small collections that adorn our home.
