[Soft*Silver]

I love this weather! I worked outside all weekend long in my gardens and chicken yard. I couldn’t get enough of the trees soft whispering w their drying colorful leaves. So cool to touch and pliable as I tucked bulb after bulb in. There is such a beautiful fragrance in the air. Not like in spring and summer on the flowers are blooming. There is an unmistakable Autumn smell to the Earth. I love to look at my garden as I lay it bare…. I think of all the wonderful summer we had while simultaneously, envisioning what next summer could look like! There are nuts, everywhere, thanks to the squirrels. I have several nut trees. While most of the nuts get hidden, some get scattered as they run with too full of a mouth.
My groundhogs are preparing to hibernate, and they are eating everything they can get their hands on, including the mums on my front porch! I love every color of mum and I have two of each color on the steps. I have way too many gourds and pumpkins, lining my porch and steps! It’s so much fun decorating with what I grew!
