Fall Colours

Hello dear friends, we are having a glorious autumn here at the farm. The sugar maples are putting on a great display of traditional orange, red and yellow colours.  In the sunlight the colours are ablaze.

Round bales of hay are lined up and ready for use later this fall and over the winter. 

I love the contrast of our cedar hedge against one of our ancient sugar maples.  

I may have mentioned in the past that I have plans for this arbour!  Once upon a time this arbour was located behind our house at the path to our driveway.  We had to move it when our addition was built and although we planted it here we never did decide how to incorporate it into its' new area.  Now I have a different idea!  We have an old wooden gate that leads from the grove to the barn and I think it would look great there. 

My favourite garden privvy.

This is Kodiak's garden.  We often say that he was the smartest dog we ever had!  He was a very special boy and also our farm manager and sheep herder.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tour.  There is lots happening at the farm!  I will soon share pictures of our rehabilitated Lake Ophelia and we are making progress on our new kitchen!

Thank you for visiting my blog and wishing everyone a safe and healthy week.
