- A Most Beautiful Start To Autumn
As the sun sets on the first day of Autumn,the dogs and I head outside to eek out every last moment of daylight. The animals are preparing for the night aheadas the moon rises high above the barnyard. The hens work their way back to their henhouses,except...

Behind our house there is a magical path that leads out through the wood pile and makes its way into the woods. The woods on this side of the house is a mixture of hemlock (evergreen) and deciduous trees. For three seasons...
- Nighttime Tuck-in
It is seven o'clock and the sun has long since set beyond the horizon. No remnants of its light are left in this part of the world. Tonight the moon is hidden behind a solid wall of rain clouds. I pull on my muck boots as I do every night at this...
- Celebrating The Day
With our four wheeler packed...quilt and wine bag strapped to the front...we set off to the western most edge of our land. (Oh yes, that is a box of pizza that you see under the quilt.) Through the wooded trails we rode... until we reached a hay field...

Sunset...
We have tried to create special places to visit around the farm. One of this year's new additions is the sunset bench. Located on the northwest corner of our land, we placed a bench at the edge of the woods, cleared a path to it and lined it with tanbark and planted hostas along the way. This bench overlooks a field of oats and the rolling hills of our valley. In the distance is the white farmhouse of our closest neighbor in that direction. Tonight we took the dogs and went to watch the sun set. Every evening the bird songs start to wane as the sun reaches the horizon. Tonight we were treated to the sound of the wind in the trees. Sitting there watching the day come to a close, I realized that in all the world there was not a better place to be...amazing peace flowed through me. I imagine myself spending the rest of my days with endings just like this one. What a satisfying life we have in the country. 
The sun reaches the horizon. 
Jack and Sadie share a moment. 
Even Maddie watches reverently.
