Fall is here. We all breathe a sigh of relief with the first rains. We all are ready to move a little slower and listen as the cooling weather tells us to settle down and get ready for winter. The colors change and leaves fall and it feels good to go outside in the fresh air and good to come in where it is cozy and warm. Winter is coming and I love the transition that is autumn.
The sunsets happen earlier now, and are moving towards the southern sky.
Ember does a good job now watching the chickens and not chasing them.
Craig working on our new main gates. Puppies must be kept in and neighbor dogs (who are far and away the main predators of our chickens) and coyotes (who very rarely catch a chicken but we don't want them too close either) will be kept out.
A tiny fairy village.
We love mantises. This year it seemed they came later than usual, but there were many when they did appear.
Ember very happy with a deer scapula she found.
I went to pick a couple apples (we did get a very, very few this year). I thought the alpacas had settled down for the night in the barn and I was munching away when I suddenly felt something soft and warm weigh down on my shoulder. Then a fluffy white snout made it clear that he wasn't just being affectionate. And he got my apple.
Leaves starting to change colors.
We had a pretty fantastic pumpkin crop!
