I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers ~ Anne Of Green Gables
Enjoying fall, looking back at summer and getting ready for the winter chill.
This year we had a large yield of tomatoes. In our kitchen we use tomatoes for
salsa, spaghetti sauce, salad, pizza, and much more.
In the garden we harvested
garlic, pumpkins, potatoes, sweet peas, corn, zucchini, red beets, and more.
Speaking of harvests, there is nothing like the feeling of finding a small, fuzzy, chirping baby chick in the silkie's brooding nest, so far we have six. Though they are not in season they are a very welcome sight.
Because of the colder weather, the chickens have cut back on laying production.
We live where there is a very short growing season, so we must soak up the warm weather that is swiftly taken over by frost.
Here is the last look before the flowers froze.
Molly, our rambunctious pup (looking so innocent in this picture) liked to pick our pink gladiolus but only the pink, which just happened to be my favorite ones.
Next year I plan to have a flower box just for cutting flowers.
Our leaves have almost gone, thanks to the valley winds, and before we know it we'll have a dusting of snow.
We make the most of the last warm days of the year, will we still can.
I am sad to see summer go but I must admit I am looking forward to the holidays!. :)
Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stoping by and God bless. ~ Ramona
