September morning fog
Out the front door this morning
the fog is lifting with the sun rising.
Looking forward to a beautiful, productive day.
Today in the garden….
This weekend is the garden and greenhouse clean up.
It has been a great first year with the greenhouse.
I loved every minute of the work, and the rewards.
Autumn is my favorite
Autumn is my favorite time of year.
We are surrounded by farm fields.
I love when the fields began to dry and are nearing harvest time.
The countryside colors change and and are full of beautiful textures and tones.
Rustic, earth colors take over the lush greens of Summer.
Late Bloom–er
This pretty snapdragon showed up in the garden…
better late then never.
Clear Blue Sky
Last week I snapped a few pictures of the backyard on a sunny, clear morning.
I love all the textures of the Pines that anchor the back of our property.
I have been gathering pinecones from these very trees for my holiday decorating.
The Fowl Corner
Thought I would share another corner of my garden…
My chicken coop.
A pair of Mallards and a few Pekins were added this Spring.
We don’t know when the Mallards will leave us–
It has been so interesting to raise them and watch the change from ducklings
to the beautiful ducks they are.
Warm September Sunshine
The gardens are winding down but black eyed Susan’s are still bursting with color
August morning
The perennial gardens are now past their peak, but we are still treated with late Summer flowers.
Oh, you beautiful eggplant….
- eggplant
Wanting to try some new vegetables for the garden, I planted eggplant.
Here is the review
Growing–easy
Appearance–beautiful
Flavor–not so much!
Anyone have a recipe for me to try?
