Early Autumn mornings

Early Autumn mornings

The mornings of September start cool and hazy.
The fields began to dry and the colors change from green to golden.
I began cleaning garden beds, and making list of chores that need to be done before our gardens go to bed.

Sweet and Sassy

That’s Jimmy

Our little mini donkey is 1 year old!

He always comes running to see me!
He always comes running to see me!
Making sure that belly is full of Summer grass!

Those ears, that round belly, and those big eyes!  Who can resist?

Eggs in the morning

 Eggs in the morning

Though it is Summer, I have been waking very early.
Tiding up in the morning from kids who stay up later them me, has become my ritual.
Washing the eggs collected the evening before.
I can see from my small kitchen sink window, the scratching chickens in the coop.
The ducks waddle by on their way to the next great rain puddle to bathe in.
Flame grazes in the pasture, raising her beautiful head to listen to a truck drive by on the gravel road.
Jimmy, our sassy little donkey is never far from her side.
I love sunrise on a Summer morning.
Gotta run, Rosie is at the front door for her morning treat!

Under consideration

Garden, chickens, horse, 1 black sheep…

This was my wish list for country living…

Garden–check

Chickens–check

Horse–getting ready!

1 black sheep–I have my reasons!
