Dill, gone to seed.
Seeds, so simple

Busy Harvest
I enjoy my time in the garden– more than I enjoy the work in the kitchen.
But of coarse, the work must be done.
Tomatoes have been roasted,
Apples have been turned to Apple Butter, and pie fillings,
Soups have been made for the Winter months,
Herbs have been dried.
Flower Favor
A friend asked for a favor,
3 little flowers, for more friends.
Lovely Leeks
The little, tiny Leek seeds were started in the warm greenhouse in Wintery March.
I transplanted out thin blades of seedlings– in May.
I was sure they would wither away in the intense heat of this Summer.
To my surprise, they grew.
Potato Leek Soup for dinner.
Time to get out the woolens
As the last week of September arrives,
so too have the cool mornings and evenings.
Our first hard frost arrived yesterday, forcing me into a faster pace of finishing the harvest.
Tea in the garden this morning required a woolen wrap.
Majestic Bald Eagle
Grabbed my camera for a few more tries at photographing
this Bald Eagle, who was back to hunt the open field.
Eye Spy
The Bald Eagles silently hunt around our property…
Sometimes the large shadows slide over me while I’m working in the garden,
sending me running to ensure the safety of chickens, kittens, and a little Dachshund.
Not the best image, but I was thrilled to snap a few shots as this Eagle hunted the newly picked fields.
Autumn goodness
Simple, functional, natural, cozy things.
Seed saving
The Nasturtium seeds have been forming,
and after collecting a handful, I have been dropping them in random places to dry.
Once dry, I will package in small envelopes, label, and store in a cool dry spot.
Barn Beams
I love barns–that’s no secret.
I poked my head in this barn, tucked away on a quite country road.
