Eggs!
After a molt and apparently a revolt on proper chicken behavior…
the girls are laying a few eggs!
Vines
I gathered a few tender vines from the woods,
and made some napkin rings for my linen napkins.
Gathering my thoughts
A little gathering of linens and ironstone
for our Thanksgiving table.
A splash of orange with paper striped straws,
and ribbon flags to dress up carrot cake cupcakes.
Meet Helen
Helen is wearing lovely feathers in Autumn shades.
She enjoys free ranging in the garden, and hanging out with her friends.
Her platform is: Eggs, they taste good!
Autumn Chores
I long for the bulbs to arrive,
for the early Autumn chores are melancholy,
but the planting of bulbs is the work of hope and is always thrilling.
May Sarton
The End
This is the last of the Heirloom tomatoes.
They have been safely finishing their ripening in the greenhouse.
I will have a salad for lunch, do the last of the seed saving, and roast a few more tomatoes for Winter enjoyment.
Beautiful weather
Halloween
A few prized vintage decorations for the garden, on a beautiful Halloween afternoon.
Things are getting eerie!
Sorry, I could not resist the pun!
Autumn’s confetti
down to earth digs
