| Rhett the Raptor 11/4/19 |
My gardens got a new dino addition this week. This came out of an long anticipated order I put in back in July. Getting it home proved to be a rather interesting experience for me in my car as it is 5' tall and far bigger then I thought it was going to be. I hand painted the red part as well as the eyes, the factory color choice for the eyes was too dull for me and I wanted them to be brighter and have a center. I added the red part because I actually have this same sculpture but smaller in another part of my yard and I wanted to differentiate a bit. I like to provide names I'm settling on a name of Rhett the Raptor. Rhett is now the second largest sculpture I have just below Little Lucky.

| Snowfall 10/29/19 |
Seems like we've been getting quite a few snowfalls lately, tonight ( Nov 6th ) we are getting our 3rd one in a row after two snowfalls including this one pictured before Halloween. The biggest snowfall was an inch but because snowfalls this early are rather rare it smashed a Des Moines record for that day in October. It's also been far colder then it should causing the tree leaves turn sort of brownish but still clinging to the trees so I have not been able to do fall mulching of the leaves just yet. Next week is supposed to be even colder some 30 degrees from where it should. Hopefully this isn't a sign of the winter-to-come.
