Fall Days

With crisp mornings and the bluest skies of the year, who can resist Fall?

While I love the changing colors of the leaves, sometimes I feel as though I could do without the thousands of little (and big) tasks that the fall brings.

For us, this years list has included cutting and stacking firewood, and of course, hauling of hay.  October also marks the fall cleaning of the chickens houses and the clearing of the garden. Let's not forget that this is the perfect time for those yard work items that've been put off for too long, like vines growing on the fences and such.

Adding to my list is also the rush to start and to finish Christmas gifts.  I've got quilts and afgans already in progress and some yet to be started!  While it may be easier to go out and buy a gift, the process of creating something beautiful for a loved one is an experience that just can't be duplicated.

Enjoy your fall weather my friends!
