Storm clouds rolled in yesterday and it looked spectacular. The sky grew dark but the sun was shining on the other side. Made for some great pictures. Click on any image to see a larger version, so make a great screen saver. I do love fall.

Summer’s coming to a close. The daylight is fleeting and the cool autumn air is whistling through the trees and soon their leaves will put on a spectacular color show and I’ll have to rake them into big piles and haul them to the curb. The garden plants are hanging on and giving all their energy to the fruits clinging onto their stems.
We picked some pumpkins yesterday and celery, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage and one crazy zucchini. The root vegetables can still sit in the ground for another couple of months. On a cool fall Saturday afternoon, I’ll head out back and dig up a wheelbarrow filled with onions and carrots and celery. So, long as the Buckeyes are playing an evening game and as long as I have a hot cup of apple cider to sip on.
Jake will help. By help I mean pee on anything that’s still vertical. As the world’s only farm Chihuahua, he has to mark his territory right? Mindy is always a big help harvesting too. She doesn’t like the planting but is a patient harvester. Carefully looking underneath each vine and every leaf. She can have some hot apple cider too.
A Look Back at Fall and Winter Time

It’s been scorching hot on the farm this past week. Upper 80’s Low 90’s with Humidity hovering around 80% or More. I thought now was a good time to look at the farm during autumn and winter. A quiet beautiful time of reflection and preparation for next season. Enjoy the pictures and remember, dry heat is dry heat. 100 degrees in dry heat is still 100 degrees. Ever stood next to a fire? That’s dry heat and it’s still hot. So, don’t buy into the whole “dry heat” load of bull.
Love these last couple of shots. Winter time is such a magical season on the farm. You’ve never really heard quiet till you’ve been outside in dead of winter. No leaves rustling, no birds chirping, no nothing. It’s so quiet, it’s almost spooky yet peaceful and serene.
