late summer

new this weekend...
a honeycrisp apple and a liberty apple on the left.
(and the romantic pair of pears on the right).
we're investing in the homestead bit by bit.
going outside to pick food just lifts one's spirits, eh?
every little bit helps.
sun gold tomatoes,
picked and eaten within an hour.

the eye on the sky forecast promises record breaking heat this week.
our farming neighbors are haying morning, noon and evening.
it smells like heaven.

what are you noticing as august turns into september?

  1. There is a chill in the air in the morning and I am sure it is getting dark earlier!
    I do like Autumn though.
    Love

  2. Flocks of birds passing through, eating every little grass seed head they can find!

  3. Getting dark a bit earlier and The Boston Globe says tree are starting to turn! (but I haven't seen it yet!.)
    Cannot wait for Fall!

  5. Very nice that you're adding apple trees to your spread! What i've been noticing is the absence of bird song in the a.m. (and the fact that it's still dark when i leave for work now), and that the sound of crickets is louder at night than even the cicadas and katydids. The swiss chard in your header pic is gorgeous!
