Today I wanted to share our amazing apple harvest with you.Every year we have bushels of ugly apples...apples that taste wonderful and make terrific sauce and pies...but are definitely ugly. You see, we don't spray our trees,so our apples are organic....
- My Favorite Time Of Day
Once I get beyond the hardest part (crawling out of a warm bed and heading out into the cold) I have to admit that my favorite time of day is early morning. Watching the sun rise as I tend to the animals around the farm is a perfect way to start the day....

A Little Autumn Magic
If you are still asleep at sunrise,
you should consider getting up and getting outside....
The light of sunrise is a gift to be savored...
each day different than the last.
Yesterday's sunrise illuminated the leaves,
making our woods look as though they had been set on fire.
It's a magical time of day... one too easily missed.
Yesterday gifted us not only with an amazing sunrise,
but also with adorable visitors.
Our little friends,
Macy
and Maggie
came to visit the farm.
They brought apple slices for the horses.
(The pigs and goats were not impressed with the apples.)
Macy fed Ritz to Dot.
And before long, she had the chickens jumping for joy.
Chickens love Ritz as much as goats do!
Macy, a fearless kindergardener, boldly stuck a Ritz between her teeth....
and offered it to the jumping chickens.
We witnessed the birth of a new "act"....
Macy and Her Amazing Jumping Chickens
Chloe and Daphne enjoyed the attention they were given by both girls,
and re-payed the favor with a nip on the back of the arm
(yes, sadly, both girls went home with a little pinch mark on the arm)
Chloe: "Please don't leave...I didn't mean to pinch you!"
Animals and children....a magical combination
in this awesomely beautiful season.
Summer's color remains...
with Autumn's jewel tones added on top....
Day's just don't get any better than this.
Thanks Maggie and Macy for a fun afternoon!
