squirreling away...


This is a favorite view from our outbuildings to the
back of our house.  Add a sunflower, and
winter seems a long way off. 
🌻

However, we are beginning our diligent preparation 
for colder days: round of hay & bedding in barn, 
last days of mowing with leaves bagged 
for winter goat treats. 
We hope to get new front steps installed & stained 
and maybe even some trim painted.

Add to that, our twin baby goats are learning their own
winter preparation, where to go for warmth & safety.
How to get along with the bigger goats in inside space.

Sunny days to relish, as we knowingly prepare.

hush





Somewhere between the excitement of Halloween and the flurry 
of Christmas, lies a gentle time of Thanksgiving.  I will quietly
revel in this time, reflecting on the many blessings in my life. 💚

I hope you also find quiet solace and peace.

kitchen critters



     Wooly albino deer next to spice drawers - of course!

  
      A little pasture of cows - makes sense to me!


                    A fox with an acorn - why not?


Some of my little kitchen friends that always make me smile!

Autumn Magic


Just five miles from our farm is the most photographed mill in the U.S.
-the Dells Mill in our Augusta, Wisconsin. ❤️

bits of autumn 🍂



Every year, I relish putting away summer, and bringing out fall.


My vintage squirrel nutcracker family has grown to three.


Browns & greens & bits of gold and orange bring autumn inside.

Amish autumn

blackbirds



                    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
                    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
                    All your life
                    You were only waiting for the moment to arise

our bowl runneth over


We planted baby jacks this year.  Gourds self seeded from last year.
This is what I will lovingly call my "2 minute harvest"!  Too hot to 
hang out in the pumpkin patch...so a quick in & out!

fall, lovely fall


Autumn arrived last night at my booth at the Hixton Schoolhouse 
Antique Mall.  The mix of orange, green, black with bits of red,
yellow & brown makes me swoon.


Added some farmhouse goodies, vintage cardboard farm animals,
a terrific Purina chick feeder and lots of tin.  There is even another 
single chicken nesting box...hard to find!  Also added some charming
canvas pouches, perfect for use or to fill with autumn foliage & hang up!

a bittersweet season


            little bits of orange...

             greens to browns to russet tones

           and a jack-o-lantern here & there

Welcome sweet Autumn!



She arrived while we slept.  Quietly falling into our morning as if 
she had been there always.  I had felt her presence in the dark clouds the eve 
before...and looked to the sky with awe.  I woke early to greet her.
