Daily Harvest 10/25/13 Before a Frost

A lot of Basil

and beans, more cherries and peppers...

and few of hundreds of nasturtium...

Shannon processing the basil...

for Pesto!

Delicious!

After a long day of planting Winter Rye.

Daily Harvest 10/21/13 Apple Picking

For Cider hopefully...

The ladder that collapsed with me at the top-I should have known...

Picker on a long pole...

 Back up on a ladder-taller but safer...

Kim Picking...Ed's shadow.

A walk in the woods...

in light and shadow

fall and I march forth

a closer look

another view

and wider perspective

And when I leave, I will look back.

Daily Harvest 10/14/13 Pumpkins

We needed more family members to finish the pumpkin harvest.

Many of those(but not all) who helped to plant were there to harvest.

Wagon close ups...

Pumpkins in the grass...

pumpkins in the car...

a young pumpkin in late season...

...and the very next day more flowers appeared,

and pollination had already begun.

Daily Harvest 10/13/13

The first ear of Indian Corn was picked just to get a peek.

Who walks here to observe...?

 Another walk on the farm

 another field in flower

another scene of change

that like a patina gets better with age

Happy Halloween!

 Finally Froggie! 10/29/13

Finally a Frog let me photograph him. I could get close enough to photograph a bunny, but frogs hop immediately away when they see my shadow approach. This guy must have thought that he was well enough camouflaged to escape my notice.

Pumpkin Harvest 10/12/13

Near sighted Pumpkins

Near Sighted Ghost

And now we have pumkins!

 and more to come

 and a ghost(pumpkin that is.)

Gary pulling vines or vines pulling Gary?

There is a lot of wildlife on the farm

So far rabbits fear least the camera.
