Fall on the Farm

It has been such beautiful weather lately that I can't help but spend most of the days outside. I truly love this time of year.

Just a fraction of what is still out in the pumpkin patch. Gosh I hope we can get of them before it freezes again. Aren't they beautiful?!

This is the first year we haven picked edible fruit from out super old apple tree. All the other years they have been too tart to eat or no fruit at all. This year we have only about a 5 gallon bucket full but the apples are large and very yummy. Perfect pie apples....tart yet juicy and a little bit sweet. I hope it produces more next year.

Part of a winter's worth of wood. John is still working on the pile, though it is about 1/3 of what it was about a month ago. He's pretty great.

Meet Kevin, our lone guinea hen. He has quite the character. More about his story later.

Anyway, life on this little farm these days has been busy, beautiful, and fruitful. Hope y'all are enjoying your fall too.
