Hello October

"I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

~Anne of Green Gables, 1908

October has been a month of baking in our farmhouse. We have enjoyed trying some new recipes and some old ones.  This is a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting.

Fresh Baked Apple Pie

Bushels of apples await me in harvest baskets. Oh, how I love this time of the year!

This week we will be canning some apple sauce, apple butter, and apples for homemade pies.

I love to can apples because of its wonderful smell while they are simmering on the stove.

Cozy Fall!

Banana Nut Bread 

 These banana breads are tucked away 

in the freezer--a treat for us on a cold winter day with a hot cup of coffee.

The hens are laying well this month, and I am sure they will start to slow down 

on their laying before too long.

Our garden is still putting out some tomatoes. I have been picking them and placing them in the

hot greenhouse to ripen.    So thankful that we are still getting some tomatoes.

The leaves in our area are just now starting to turn. I am looking forward to the changing of the leaves. God's grand finale before the gray days of winter.

Praying our lives will slow down to enjoy this beautiful season.

The girls and I have been collecting seeds from the garden and from zinnias. I remember my

grandmother collecting seeds from her garden for the coming spring.  

May your fall be cozy!

Life in An Old Farmhouse

Have you ever lived in a old farmhouse?  Have you ever wanted too?  Or maybe you still do.

A farmhouse must have a cast iron bed. 

Mason jars of sweet tea.

Farmhouse morning...can't you smell the coffee perking.

I hope you have enjoyed life in the old farmhouse.

It brings back many memories for me.

Life In An Old Farmhouse

Farmhouse kitchen

Farmhouse dishes are always mismatched.

Farmers wife...notice the sweet note in her pocket.

 Dried flowers and berries

The old black phone on the wall with the finger dial.

We had one like this when I was a child. Does 

anyone remember the party lines?

Wake me up at daybreak...

Wear.....

Sweet memories of an old farmhouse.
