You asked what we will do with those hotter than hot peppers.
Absolutely. Nothing.
Too hot for normal human consumption!
It was fun to grow them.
We'll just have to leave it at that.
There is no doubt about it... fall is in the air!
I bought mums yesterday... soon, pumpkins.
Fall is my favorite time of year.
I love watching the subtle changes as they happen...
and then all of a sudden one day we look around and the whole world has changed...
greenery has turned to earthy tones of yellows, golds, oranges, rust, red and purple.
You've got to admit... it's almost magical how the world transforms
with the change of seasons.
It was such a good summer for the fruit and nut-bearing trees.
Our apple trees are loaded and the fruit is big and juicy.
The chestnut trees are also loaded this year.
This fact will most definitely please Ginger and MaryAnn...
whose favorite treat in all the world is chestnuts!
(even more than apples!)
Those crazy muscovy ducks continue to make their morning sojourn to the barn.
They hang out with us while we work... snacking on the runner ducks' food and water.
Meanwhile, the shy runner ducks take off running...
and head for the woods.
As we move from the dry lot to the pig and sheep yards we are followed
by three turkeys and three muscovies.
It's amazing how personable these birds can be...
they seem to just enjoy hanging around with us.
Of course, we are lots of fun... so who wouldn't?
At least that's what our dogs tell us.
The guinea babies have grown like weeds.
They are large enough to go out into their yard,
and so, yesterday we opened their door.
(Hubbs had just built them a new exit ramp)
Did they venture outside?
Of course not.
Instead, they spent their day hopping up and down into the nesting boxes in their brooder house.
I am hoping that a few of them eventually get a little curious.
If not, we will give them a little encouragement.

I agree, the changing of the seasons is magical. I feel so blessed to now be residing where I can witness it firsthand. This is our first autumn in NC, and also my favorite season.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for taking the time each day to share your world.
My momma boiled them and ate them. That is why we originally planted our trees was for her.
Have a great weekend. It's going to be really hot in Mississippi again this weekend.
Have a good weekend
Indeed . . . fall is in the air.
