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.

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.

Feathered Friends

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.
