Today my mom, sisters and I all got our hair cut.  I got supposedly only an inch cut off of mine, but it seems more than that. :(  I got  layers and it looks okay, but it makes it look more wavy and I liked it straight!  It looks really cute in a ponytail like it is now, but when it's down it's just different I guess.  Hopefully I'll get used to it.  When I can get my sister to take a picture of it, I'll post a before and after picture.  The lady who cuts our hair said I have fly aways because my hair is curly.  The only reason it's not curly now is becuase it's so long and heavy, the weight pulls out the curls.  If it was really short, it would be really curly. :l

I also took some gorgeous pictures today that I thought I'd share.  The trees here are gorgeous and especially looking at the woods....well......that I can't even explain how pretty!  I am sorry there are so many, but there are so many that are too pretty to not put on here and let someone else smile at them!  The wind felt so good and the weather is gorgeous.  It's exactly like fall how I want it to be. Here they are!  Captions are above the pictures.

This is part of our yard, and that big dirt pile is the dirt we used for our garden boxes this year.  We got them ready for next year. 

This is the same part but it's closer up.  Aren't these gorgeous so far?

This is the cornfield behind this chicken house.  We can see it from the house because our house is built unto a hill and we can see above the chicken house.  We always see white tailed deer at the back of this cornfield when it's harvested and when soybeans are planted there.

The same cornfield only with the sun shining on the whole thing.  In the last one it was only shining on the trees way back there.

A maple tree that turned red.  My dad says because of the drought, the leaves will turn brighter colors easier.

The woods......

This is supposedly a creek and it is, but unfortunatly there's not water in it from the drought.  If ther was, we would have swam in that all summer!  It is REALLY deep.

here's the same "creek" only this is where it starts.

See my shadow in the picture?

The same ditch again......I thought it was pretty, though.

Some cornstalks blowing in the wind.  Sorry looking cornstalks.  Usually they are still part way green!  But because of the drought.......

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.  I gotta go help make dinner now.  We're having ham & green beans.  Ham-yum. Green beans-not so yum.  Oh yeah, tomorrow we might go to The Cheesecake Factory AGAIN for my cousin's 18th birthday.  He lives in the capital city of our state, and that's about an hour away from us, so we don't get to see him very often.  He has a little sister who is 8 and obviously his mom and dad are my mom's sister and brother-in-law.  So hopefully we get to go, not becasue we get more sweet stuff, but because we'll get to see them again.  The last time we saw them was in April at my aunt's funeral.  Nice way to see someone again.......so anyway I really have to go now.  And tomorrow night is when we might go if my dad says it's okay even if he doesn't want to go.  He has hard work to do this week for a business presentation or something next week.
