The mornings have been getting cooler and its definitely welcomed. It feels like we are just on the brink of fall arriving. When I asked the kids what their favorite season is everyone agreed....FALL. Sweater weather, cooler weather but not cold, pumpkin season, holiday season, the change of leaves. We don't typically hike a lot in the spring and summer due to the heat and our son's allergies so once Fall hits we hit the trails consistently even through winter. When everyone else is ready to stay indoors we are getting out and about even more.
We are a little late on fall garden planting but luckily in Arizona we can still get everything into the ground in September even the items should have been done last month so this weekend we worked on laying out plans, getting area's prepped and some seeds planted as well. We'll continue to get it done this week.
Fall plantings will include: Spinach, Lettuce, Kale, Chard. Pumpkins, Winter Squash. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage. Fall Bush Beans. And possibly turnips, radishes, carrots.
The last week or so we have been gardening, tending to our farm animals, working, schooling, hiking, having picnics downtown, visiting our library, enjoying family time and home cooking good meals. Life is good and we are blessed.
Some photos of the last few weeks....
Downtown picnic
Our sweet 'MaryAnn' kitty....she loves waiting on the front porch to follow us around during animal and garden chores.
Looking forward to enjoying Fall.
