While we are beyond grateful that we do not have to deal with hurricanes like so many others, we are still getting tired of our cloudy and rainy autumn (and the remnants of Michael headed our way are not going to help)! Even though things have quieted down a bit on the farm, we’ve still been quite busy, and I’m behind on everything again! This weekend will be my last working my summer job at the farm stand, so hopefully I can get caught up after that. We’ll see. We have a lot of big things in the works here, especially on the blog!
Coming attractions:
Luke has been hard at work on his trick for this year’s Trick or Treat Giveaway hop, coming next week! This giveaway is going to be HUGE, so trust us, you don’t want to miss it! We had a big breakthrough with Luke’s trick today too, so I was pretty excited about that.
Someone also has a big birthday coming up, and we are planning a special giveaway, centered around an exciting announcement about something we have in the works. That big project is what will be keeping me quite busy.
The sun has made an appearance here and there, and I was able to get a photo of our autumn display at the front of our house.
It just needs a black cat on the doorstep, right? I want to get Samantha outside for another “field trip” soon, but in the meantime we pulled this photo from the September archives.
That was back when the sun was seen around here a lot more!
At least we’ll have plenty to keep us busy while we wait for that special fall weather and foliage we usually enjoy here in New England. I hope we didn’t miss it – the rain and wind are knocking a lot of leaves off the trees already, so the window is getting smaller all the time! A big frost is expected this weekend, which will probably put an end to the gardens. We also heard the word “snow” mentioned in the weather forecast – I wonder how the farm birds are going to feel about that? The guinea hens already take to squawking just went the rain starts coming down harder! I’m sure that will be fun and entertaining, even though we’re not ready to see any of that white stuff yet! The “crazy birds” are bound to give us more blog material along the way too. 🙂
What’s going on in your neck of the woods?
We’re actually having a late summer here and am trying to soak in all the sun before the rain stays here for good! Mr. N is enjoying sun bathing and rolling on all the grass. Hope the sun makes it your way!
It finally showed up, if only for a little bit. We take what we can get!!
It’s kinda cloudy here today but is supposed to be cooler and beautiful this week. I’m excited for your announcement and big birthday!!
We’re excited too, but I’m running so behind on my planning! My job went longer than expected and between that and the Trick or Treat hop, I’m going to be skating in at the last minute again (nothing new about that really though – hee hee).
I didn’t know about the trick or treat contest… I can’t wait to see Luke’s trick! And I do hope that your rain goes away. I want to see photos of your foliage!
Be sure to stop by tomorrow, there are so many awesome prizes, and Luke can’t wait to show off! 🙂
We’ve had a bunch of rain too. Looking good guys, have a great weekend.
It seems to be like this everywhere. Time for Noah to build another ark? LOL
We adore Sam! I’m always behind BEHIND and I never seem to catch up. Then again, being a bit of a perfectionist takes a bit of a toll.
Ah, yes, perfectionism….that is a time suck (trust me, I know!!). 🙂
LOVE your sunshiny yellow front door! And the decorations are lovely. I’m afraid only spider webs are the only decorations going on around here. 🤣 Can’t wait to see what the changes are!
Well, you might be one of the few who is privy to what will be happening here next! 🙂
Luke, you and Samantha both look wonderful and I hope you both have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you, Brian!! ♥
Your house looks beautiful and so does Samantha. I love fall decorating. I am sick of the rain too.Have a nice weekend!
Thank you! Yes, other than Christmas, fall is my favorite season to decorate for. I need more stuff for inside the house though.
Your front door looks great. We have a dry morning, finally after about 4″ of rain this week. It’s cold, but we don’t mind that at all if it is dry! Madison is still working on her trick. Mom hasn’t had much time for it, but hopefully it will come together.
Thank you! We seem to be getting a dry day about every other day lately, so I guess that’s better than nothing, right?
Looks very fall like there. We have had plenty of rain too, makes for long days with the doggies. They prefer walking.
We prefer it too, and try to get out as long as it isn’t a downpour. But some of these dark and dreary mornings, it’s hard to get motivated!
Your fall decorations out front look great
Hurricane Michael came through here on Wednesday evening and left yesterday afternoon. Good Riddance! Luckily, the rain wasn’t as heavy as some of our summer storms; so although the porch floor got wet in some areas, at least it didn’t flood and pour into the house downstairs. Of course the sandbags outside the screen door probably helped too. The stiff breeze and sunshine in the late afternoon/early evening dried out the puddles, so by bedtime I didn’t have to wipe off the the dogs’ paws. 😃
Thank you, Sue! I’m so glad the storm didn’t end up being too bad for you!
your cornstalks look much better than ours ;O))) love your decorations… to tell da truth we were grateful for the rain we got, but we are also glad too that we have no hurricanes or real storms to stand…
Ha, I fooled you with my clever placement on the steps. Most of those stalks are only about 3-4 feet tall! But at least I can say they are from our own garden, such as it was. 🙂
