Autumn Color at the Farm

 

It seems the colors this Fall aren't as bright as they usually are. Too much rain? Maybe.  The trees appear to be losing their leaves before they've turned to color.  I've been waiting for a sunny day to take pictures. This was our sunny day for this week.  Hope you enjoy the pictures and my yearly much - loved Autumn poem.

Thoughts

by Jacqueline Bouvier

 I love the Autumn,

And yet I cannot say

All the thoughts and things

That make one feel this way.

I love walking on the angry shore,

To watch the angry sea;

Where summer people were before,

But now there's only me.

I love wood fires at night

That have a ruddy glow.

I stare at the flames

And think of long ago.

I love the feeling down inside me

That says to run away

To come and be a gypsy

And laugh the gypsy way.

The tangy taste of apples,

The snowy mist at morn,

The wanderlust inside you

When you hear the huntsman's horn.

Nostalgia - that's the Autumn,

Dreaming through September

Just a million lovely things I always will remember.

-1943

Until next time

The Farm in October

I love the colors of autumn and thought I would put up some pictures of the farm taken this weekend.  As you can see the leaves are at their most colorful but they are falling to the ground and the limbs will quickly be bare. The horses are getting their winter coats and before long the weather will change from crisp cool days to icy temps and snow will blanket us in white. For now I will just enjoy the beauty surrounding me.  It’s difficult to come inside when the weather is crisp and nature is dipping her paintbrush into the limitless palette of brilliant colors to paint the landscape.  Hope you enjoy the pictures. 

"Of course I can't make a move around here without assistants"

"They thought I had treats, turned out to only be a camera"

" Disappointed and heading for greener pastures"

"Hey guys, wait up"

"Stupid boys, always wasting energy"!

Until next time
