| We have 3 apple trees, and the Northern Spy is going to give us lots of apples for pies this winter. |
 |
| The little grape tomatoes have produced so many goodies this summer despite all the hot and dry weather. They are sooo good. |
 |
| Even the ever bearing red raspberries and still going strong although the birds have stolen plenty. |
 |
| The Milkweed Tiger caterpillars are out in full force now. Once again, I have seen very few butterflies this season. There were more early in the summer, but as the hot temperatures took it's toll on all the flowers, the butterflies disappeared. |
 |
| I did see this Monarch just the other day, but maybe it was migrating through our area. |
 |
| This is our llama trail, and you can see how overgrown it is. It needs some help. So much rain now that things are growing really out of control. |
 |
| Not far from home lives all these Belgian horses. They were kind enough to pose for me on a drive past their pasture. We've had rain on and off all week, but nothing too bad. Even some sun to help dry everything out. We were predicted a frost a few days ago, and we picked all the remaining tomatoes just in case. The frost didn't happen, but I did can up half of the tomatoes today, and got 10 quarts. My new chickens are going fine, and I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. |

I just love this kind of post where I can get a glimpse into another person's life and surroundings. Great apple tree Becky, can I drop by in the winter for a taste of the pies? I too have ever bearing raspberries that the birds delight in and believe me, these days they are a lot quicker than I am.
10 qts . . .WOW, that should certainly see you through to the next season.
Lovely Belgian horses, they look to be good and sturdy.
We have just bought a Belgian cow with heifer calf who has been exposed to a bull, so here's hoping! They are an old breed and a good deal smaller than our other cows and have quite a long coat and are a reasonably rare breed. we felt we were very lucky to get one.
Lovely, lovely pictures Becky.
THe apples look great and I am sure that winter pie will be delicious.We have had our fist frost,but not too bad.
the apples and raspberries look so yummy! jealous for your rains, but we did get 1/2 inch this morning! woo hoo! it's a start! now, if we can get 1/2 a foot to really get things going...
Becky these are great pictures. The tomatoes look so good and you do get a great crop from them. I have not seen one Monarch this year. I love horses but am afraid of them.
Somehow I didn't realize what a good size farm you had! We hsven't had a frost yet either but I picked what tomatoes I had (all green our season is so short) and had enough for one batch of green tomato mincemeat. I only had two tomato plants as they grow so poorly here.
