Fall Harvest

It's no secret that I love the color red, flowers, the crispness of fall and a cloudy day.
So when I have experiences that incorporate all of those loves, I am on cloud nine!
This first-of-fall-weekend, we we're fortunate enough to once again head out to our family-owned Countryman Farm (pics and story to come one day... soon) and pick, dig, clip, reach, arrange, search, pull and fill until we were loaded up with an abundance of fall harvest produce such as melons, rhubarb, plums, apples, potatoes, corn, zucchini and tomatoes. Ah, the bliss!  A more productive (and cheaper, too!) trip than to the local grocery store. I even managed to quickly clip a couple beautiful bouquets. ~One to keep and one to give away~
We are fortunate to have extended family within a few miles of us literally on ALL sides. They all also love to garden. Who needs to dig up an already small yard to stake out a garden plot in town when beautiful generous country dwelling family members gladly share the "wealth" and keep our fridge and cupboards stocked full? 

Walnuts, cornstalks and pumpkins are next! How blessed and thankful we are!
