Autumn at the farm...

BACK DOOR FRIENDS ENTER HERE

On the farm where I grew up and where Laura still lives with her husband, there is something of my childhood that still clings to the adult me. Each season, and especially in autumn, I spend time there, recalling long ago days when life was truly simple. I can still smell those familiar and pungent odors that never quite leave your remembering; drying leaves, smoky bonfires, the rain against the screen door, and crisp frosty mornings and county fair time complete with pumpkin displays. Here are a few for you to enjoy.

 Laura's chickens are free range now that the garden is harvested
Pumpkins for sale!
Harvest arrangement in the farm kitchen
Flowers in the old chair
The artistry of God
Looking north from the farm
King of the pumpkins
The farm is so picturesque in autumn, that many people stop by to take pictures. They especially like this antique farm wagon that Steve sells pumpkins and vegetables from. He also has a farm stand decorated for each season.

 Hammock under the peach trees. A good place to rest

Have a wonderful and memorable season
