This Side Of Fall

 

 Fall is moving slowly into our woods and fields.

A few trees are yellow tipped, and one or two are showing some lovely orange, but we have yet to see an eye popping landscape.

In the background, you can see a bit of color, and the chickens add some Fall color too.

Mia just wants to get in on the act.

I have a small supply of pumpkins and gourds to decorate in and around the house, even though I feel certain we will loose the pumpkins to a hungry animal (called deer).

I am "feeding" them one at a time so that we can stretch the enjoyment as much as possible.

 Nature is adding its muted color too, adding to the "antiqueness" of the farm.

I hope you are taking in the beauty of the season while it lasts.

Teeny Pumpkins and Spooky Spiders

Is it the leaf that is large or the gourds that are small? A bit of both.
This leaf drifted from far away to get my attention in the field. I have enjoyed its presence in my kitchen all week.

How many spiders did it take to weave this web? Where is the spider?

The mist from the fog make these webs the inspiration for Halloween decorations.

And how many industrious spiders did it take to decorate this whole tree and its neighbors? You don't see these webs, but on the misty, spooky, wet mornings. They are amazing!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
