I have several of these little vintage tins.
They make great storage for saved seeds.
Label your seeds with the variety and date harvested.
Store in a cool, dry location.

The path to Autumn
Slowly the green turns to shades of Autumn.
Sun Bath
Rosie has a ritual.
A good night sleep with her best buddy, Otto.
A morning run around the yard.
A pit stop in the house for tricks and treats.
A snuggle on the couch.
Back outside for a sun bath.
Love you yellow girl
What ducklings?
The ducklings have grown up.
I have officially become “the duck lady”, with 14 ducks now waddling around the garden.
Pekin Ducks are quite low maintenance. Eat tons of bugs, and are less destructive then the chickens in the garden.
I have had a few offers to “take a couple of ducks”, but they were going to be “dinner”.
I just couldn’t do it!
They will be pets. Yes, the petting zoo grows.
Nice Weather
My favorite color in the garden,
well worn, weathered gray.
I love the handle of this old garden shovel.
The 500th Post
As the sun is setting on the garden this evening, I can’t help but reflect on the start of this garden and my little garden blog.
So much has come from this little spot on earth. Food for our family, beautiful flowers for our home, peaceful moments, and opportunities I had only dreamed of.
Thank you to all who have stopped by and taken the time to explore the garden.
Those who have left comments, I read and appreciate each and every one.
For those that have chosen to follow me…thank you.
Hugs garden friends.
Age And Beauty
I always feel a little sad when I see a farm site sitting empty.
A once loved and lived in farmhouse with barns and sheds slowly leaning toward the earth.
I often stop to photograph these simple farm structures…they speak to me…sometimes they really do…sometimes a critter or two live in them!
The beautiful Creeping Virginia is trying it’s best to decorate this little shed for Fall.
Hug a mini donkey!
Jimmy loves hugs and scratches!
Lucy wanted a picture with our sweet and sassy guy.
She is a bit sweet and sassy herself!
Welcome October
I welcome the colors of Autumn to the garden.
This one blossom faded more quickly then the rest.
I thought the shades of brown were beautiful and rested it on a linen.
As the garden fades into Fall, welcome October.
Apple Season
It’s apple season!
The best decoration for the table, a bowl of beautiful apples.
“Eat an apple”, I remind my kids.
Apple Butter is cooked to spread on our toast all Winter long.
Thank you Johnny Appleseed.
