The Slower Fall Life

---

As we come into fall life, things around here begin to slow. The hustle and Bustle of summer chores and to-dos are coming to an end. I sit here writing this entry finding myself starring endlessly out the window watching the leaves fall one by one. With each passing day the temps are cooler and fall is in the air. From the smell of leaves burning, wood burners smoking, and the sweet smell of canning season. Its time to sit back and take it all in. This time of year I enjoy canning, sewing, cooking, baking, and writing. The chickens are even slowing for the fall. Egg production is at a extreme low. All the girls are beginning to heal from a hard molting season. A well deserved break they are getting. They munch upon fresh pumpkins and left over tomatoes from the summer yield. The goats have started getting their fall coats. I find them staying in their barn more and more as the temps drop. They also have been enjoying the left over produce from the garden as they work on their winter weight. Wood season around here is coming to an end too, less sore wake ups in my near future.
