This year has just slipped by! I can hardly believe that it is October. We've had The Bountiful Alliance Fall Harvest Festival. Being able to share the farm and hay ride or apple picking with the guests was quite enjoyable. Let's keep our eyes open for another farm to showcase! We have some excellent neighbors and want you to enjoy a day in the country from several perspectives!
One of our friends here in town suggested that one of the season changes was "when Bullocks took away the Sand bags in front of their store, you know Monsoon Season is over." It seems appropriate that the change of seasons is upon us moving from Summer to Autumn. In my classes, students have often commented that they love Michigan or __insert the name of any northern community here_, because it has the four seasons. Winter Spring, Summer, Autumn are felt in many ways here on the farm. I hear the crows flying into the trees for the pecans (speculation based on observation here) and the wild Turkeys are bringing their young chicks through the fields. The greens are deepening and the apples were ripe this week. Even with dozens of people picking we have apples to bring up to our daughters in Chicago.
Fall is also getting ready to put up the last of the tomatoes and turn the basil into pesto. We may not have pizza delivery, but the bruchetta from the garden yesterday was amazing...if I do say so myself.
Projects complete and pictures to follow: Cool Storage (can't really call it cold yet), tiling the last of the bedrooms, completing the last house bathroom, gardening, gardening with weeding thrown in just because we didn't have other things to do...like teach. I love each of the rooms and it's such a wonderful stage to watch the changing of the seasons. Cooler temps means lettuce and snap peas are in the ground along with more onions.
