Finally Fall

The leaves have finally started turning and the weather feels like fall. I love it. Dye pots going round the clock, shearing the kids and yealing goats,( they have faired well over the summer), skirting the last of the wool fleeces, deciding if it is worth it to take goats for the show. Tomatoes, lettuce and turnip greens in the garden are enjoying the cooler days. Only a few hens laying eggs now, but enough for breakfast every morning. Tanner is drying off nicely, so I am not milking her anymore. A lot more shearing to do before cold weather comes but this time of year is my favorite. I have chosen a few fleeces for me to spin and weave by the fire this winter. Deer season opens tomorrow so hopefully there will be fresh meat to go with the greens.
