Well, it got down to about 35-36 degrees last night. The mountains have snow on them! I heard the furnace kick in early in the morning. It looks like my honey and I will have to get a move on with firewood :)
Connie, that Spiced Cider sounds so good! And I love Susan Branch. Do you have her Autumn book?
Cheryl, never too late for Autumn :) Thanks for sharing the Pumpkin Cookie recipe, I am gaining weight just reading these recipes and looking at the pictures girls :)

I love to read what everyone is doing and love love love the pictures...Connie(Killarney)you always post the most breathtaking pictures!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Beautiful fall morning here! Thanks for sharing the link to Twinings Sharon, love those teas.
Just love the sun glistening on the dewy grass. We have two huge spiderwebs outside on two of our windows in the family room. I don't like spiders but the webs are really quite amazing! :)

Denise,
It always amazes me how the spider webs can be so perfect...I don't like spider either but they sure know how to put some fascinating work together:):):)
Hugs!

I have a fun fall plant to share that is not the typical orange, yellow or red but VIVID purple. To me, it is so purple it looks fake. Sorry Mother Nature - I don't mean that as an insult!
In an attempt to actually have things grow in my shaded, Virginia-clay-filled tiny back yard, I went with native plants. My research took me to this stunner - a beautyberry bush. I need to enjoy it before the birds pick it clean.
Happy fall!

Cindy,
It's beautiful!!! Purple is my favorite color. I've never seen anything like it. I might have to look into getting one when we finally find a new farm and get moved. Thanks so much for posting a picture.

The first week of fall gave us the dreaded......snowstorm. 3' inches in the mountains and not sticking to the roads here. heaters going in the greenhouse and we still have tomatoes, lettuce and spinach. This weekend I plan to dig the beets and make pickled beets. Yum!

Good day ladies 
I have to say Denise, I think spiderwebs are so beautiful! I used to be so afraid of spiders but living out here in the country I am used to them.
Judy, I bet it is so beautiful in Kentucky right now. Are the leaves turning color now?
Cindy, I just love Beautyberries! I would love to grow some here but I don't think they fare well for zone 5b.
Sherone, oh my goodness! After our rains last week we saw snow on the mountains here too. The daytime temps here are anywhere from 55-74 degrees during the day and the nights have been at lows of 39-46. My kind of weather :)
I am thankful that most of my garden is done with the exception of cole crops and some green tomatoes that I will try making into salsa for my honey :)

Hi girls! Hi girls! I'm back! SORT of... The flu has really kicked me in the pants. My son and I are both still recuperating, but I am very happy to report that we've survived. Eghads, NASTY! Every day it has been a new symptom, and as soon as either of us started feeling better, it seemed to start all over again. Today is the first day I actually can move around without feeling faint. It's a wonderful feeling, indeed! :) Sad to say, my husband started with the incessant coughing through the night last night, so I'm afraid this isn't quite over yet, but at least my son and I have come through the worst of it. What a way to start fall! Ugh!!!
Thank you SO much for getting this under way. I love all the pictures, recipes, insights and sharing... You all are the best! What would autumn be without my farmgirl sisters?!
I'll be back as soon as I can with my autumn welcome. I just want to let you know I haven't forgotten, I am loving what you've all shared, and I'll "see" you all soon!
Hugs and love - and HEALTH -

Nini~ Hope you are soon back up and around! Prayers for you.
I took some photos of my hutch and a small occasional table that I have decorated for the season. I didn't do to much this year. I did put up my wreaths but didn't get any photos of them.

I am hoping to downsize my Christmas things a bit this year.
Thinking I like the idea of decorating the hutch for the seasons. It was my mom's and came to live with us last year when she passed.

Nini, I have been praying for you and Sam and will add Charlie to my list too. I am so sorry that this flu has hit you and hit you hard. Please take care of yourself!
Denise, thank you for posting the lovely pictures! I love how you decorate :) How special that the hutch was your mom's. I think it is a perfect idea to decorate it for each season.
Connie, well, there is a freeze warning tonight! I need to cover my cole crops and I picked my green tomatoes and the rest of the jalapenos today. Need to cover the pumpkins too! I hope this get chilly for you soon!

Nini, so glad to hear that you are feeling better. What a week!! We had a cooler front pass through today and it is drier and a bit breezy. Supposed to go down to mid 60s tonight which will be a a welcomed relief if it really happens. I am hoping for a change!!
I got a pumpkin today at the market and plan to decorate the front door and porch tomorrow. Will post a photo to share.

You will have to post pics of your outside Judy!
We got a frost last night. I am so glad I picked our green tomatoes and the rest of the peppers. I picked our pumpkins several days ago and covered them up last night. It looks like I will be working on pumpkin really soon!

Me too! Connie, those of us in the South have awhile to go before there is any front. Especially me!! Usually we are in the countdown to Christmas before there is even a possibility of frost. Right now, I would settle for 55 degrees! Sharon, glad you got the last of the garden harvested and safe. Mmmmm, pumpkins have so many yummy possibilities, not to mention they are so adorable with faces and candles inside!

Oh Connie, you find the best pictures!!! I think we should have a Farmgirl Gathering right there at that cabin. We could craft and do some canning and eating all kinds of yummy foods while in our cozy jammies :) I was looking at Amazon for that book and was shocked at the prices. I guess it is hard to find (reasonably anyway). I will keep my eye out.
