- Look What I Found In The Orchard!
Yesterday was one of those days when the weather changed every half hour.Before dawn, the sky was clear... a new moon visible. Dawn brought fog. By mid-day the sun came out sporadically... but disappeared altogether by mid afternoon. I spent the sunny...

- 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....

Autumn Walks and Finished Projects
Hubbs and I took the dogs for a walk yesterday afternoon as the sun
descended towards the horizon.
With temperatures dropping, we soaked in the last of Autumn's warmth.
Earlier in the day a band of rain clouds ushered in a cold front...
and with those storms, the land was transformed to the monochromatic
browns that we will live with over the next several months.
Fall color is all but gone from the trees...
the remaining green belonging to pine trees.
The sights have changed.
The smells have changed.
The sounds have changed.
Autumn has wiped the jewel tones from his palette,
and has covered his canvas in burlap brown.
Winter looms in the not so distant future.
But...yesterday....yesterday still belonged to Autumn...
and we squeezed every bit of the season out of the day
as we walked through dry crunchy leaves, listening to the caw of crows...
watching the sun set on the horizon.
We took a few moments to play with the pigs....
And last...before we part,
I wanted to show you what I just finished.
I have spent the past week working on this little owl shawl...
Each little owl has tiny Czech glass beads for eyes (knit right into the pattern).
And although it looks grey in the photos, it is actually blue/grey.
It is knit with the softest 100% Merino wool.
I am planning on selling it. (Later the same day....and it is SOLD!)
