~autumn

Concrete has been poured for a garage, which will give us ample space to store many household items, bulk food, clothing totes, tools, and random stuff that won't fit or just doesn't need to be in the house.  We are very excited to have this "extra" space. 

~ Berries for play have been picked and cooked and eaten...pretend is so much more fun when it has nature involved.  Little miss has planted a buckeye tree ~ not in a good spot mind you, but due to wanting to "do it herself" it has been planted.  

We are enjoying autumn so much on our place and in our new home.  We were building here last year and didn't get to really enjoy all of our surroundings as this year.  The light is so beautiful how it shines in the cabin.  Baby is enjoying the access to the in and out world when we are able to leave the door open during the day.  

~ Our chicks have arrived... twenty red sex-link and four buff orpington.  I would have just ordered the reds for laying purposes, but we so enjoy the buffs with their disposition.  They have always been the children's favorite to hold, and mine to watch.

~ The walls are up and now the roof is almost ready to be shingled.  Moving right along!  I just can't almost wait!

~Making and canning applesauce ~ one of my most favorite things of fall.  I tired a new apple this year...Cortland, reading that it makes very silky applesauce.  It is wonderful.  Hubby said I'm going to have to put it under lock and key if I want it to last all year.  


Hope you are having a blissful autumn!
