| Crunching down the path |
 |

| Tulip planting time. 1400 whites, yellows, peach, red and purples. I can hardly wait until spring! |
 |
| Uncapping the Fall honey. A dark yummy golden rod honey. Not much this year but what we did get was super great. |

| The bees cleaning up their supers before I put them away for the winter. |

| Beautiful red berries. Not sure what these are called. The birds don't even eat them. Yet they add such lovely contrast to the changing colors of Autumn. |
Today's Journey Joys: The humming of the dishwasher, warm Autumn temperatures, super-finds at the auction, wood mulch delivered, firewood stored in the hoophouse, pumpkins being gobbled by our free-ranged pastured chickens (what orange yolks they have!), cleaning up outside and in, storing and sorting for winter, and the smell of fall leaves.
