baa baa black sheep

   I always have mixed emotions about changing the clocks back.  
The early evening dark skies are no fun.
But I do feel better about my kids catching the school bus in the daylight now. 
Another good thing is, I can enjoy the scenery on the way to work.  
As I drive down the country roads I enjoy seeing the sheep, cows and horses grazing in the fields.  I especially like our neighbors sheep.
They are so inquisitive.
Our neighbors have invited my children to bottle feed the newborns babies.  
When you stop by to look at them, they are so curious and they peek around the corner at you.  They make me smile every morning as I leave for work :)
And, on the bright side...its only another 31 days before the days start getting longer again!

morning fog

This morning was such a beautiful fog!  I was surprised the kids didn't have a school delay!
I have been so enjoying these last few days of Indian Summer!  Enjoy them while you can, I believe Old Man Winter is fast approaching!
Joie de Vivre!

my favorite pumpkin

We grow about 40+ varieties of heirloom pumpkins every year.  Orange ones, blue ones, white ones, lumpy ones, pretty ones and ugly ones.
Every year there is always one that catches each of our eyes and becomes "our favorite pumpkin"
Here is a picture of our 2010 picks for "favorite ones".
My husband brought this one to my attention and it receives the honor to be his favorite too. 
I especially like it because last year we planted several rows of these (blue hubbards) and not a one grew.  This year we had better luck with them.  Very pretty.
My kids, who usually want the biggest pumpkin in the field, were intrigued with the tiniest ones that they could find.  
We pull them out of the bunch to make sure they don't get sold!
