Fall 2012

 Charley, the Shorkie, ready for his daily constitutional around the farm.
 Our seasonal entrance greeter = Happy Halloween!
 The surviving barnevelders posing for a group picture.  Two roosters and two hens.  Very good flyers!  Very slow to mature.  No eggs yet and the roosters have a non-irritating crow.
 A new eight frame hive set up beside the older ten frame hive.  Added feeder between cover and hive body.  Hive has low winter reserves - trying to fatten up the hive over the next 4 weeks before we get hit with winter temps.
 My fruit tree row.  It was a brutal summer and I'm thankful that the trees are still surviving.
 My blackberries that need to be moved to a raised bed.
 My raised beds.  Still getting peppers, tomatoes, lettuce.
 Garlic and bokchoy growing.
 The mama fig tree.
 Spectacular fall color!
 On  my wish list  - a chain saw!
Our daily walk is done - Charley is ready to go back inside.  Wet feet  & all.
