The Scents of Fall!

The smell of fall is definately in the mountain air, go out in the early morning and the air is cool and crisp, its like heaven on earth. I have a little itty bitty farm with ducks, geese, dairy goats, chickens, 2 sweet beehives and one BAD GUINEA bird whom upon escaping from the coup runs directly to the little red car to stand there, all day, gazing at his beautiful (he thinks so anyhow) reflection in the car door, shwoooooeee, what a crazy bird. That crazy guinea fowl also loves to scare my lil sweet chihuahua half to death, the dog goes running off of the porch and the guinea comes sneeking from around the car and flies on little dogs back. Oh what a bird!!!!!!!!
I still love the derned thing, life would most definatley be boring without it. Anyhow my husband and myself went to a tractor festival last yr and he bought a heaping pile of junk that sort of resembled a apple cider mill. He brought it home and all of last winter he sanded, and sanded and sanded and painted and primed and cut out new pieces of cherry wood, anyhow i ended up with the most beautiful of all cider mills, don't want to brag but it is the truth, and you gotta tell the truth. We made our first batch of apple cider the other evening and it was totally blissful!
Enjoy your Autumn, go outside and stand still and listen! You may here an Owl hooting, drink some cider and curl up with a good book!
