It was a perfect autumn weekend here on the farm...
made even more perfect with a visit from our Littles on Saturday
(we went to a pumpkin patch)
(we went to a pumpkin patch)
and a surprise visit from Tyler on Sunday!
(I snapped this photo earlier in the week at his soccer game.
His mom is the coach.)
Every moment between those two visits was filled with farm projects.
We had our first frost of the season,
so I ended up harvesting all of the remaining hot peppers.
With them I made and bottled two batches of hot sauce.
We dug the sweet potatoes... 60 pounds worth!
They are currently drying on the dining room table and will be packed
away in saw dust and stored in a cool corner of our cellar for winter.
While in the garden, I noticed that my saffron crocus is back up again.
Soon I will harvest the tiny saffron filaments from inside each blossom.
I thought perhaps a video might make you feel like you, too, were with us this weekend...

And how my son would love the looks of that hot sauce! He is quite the fan.
Have a happy day and thanks again for starting our day with happiness too.
