October Sunshine
Sunny October apples, very sweet.
They are all at the very top of the trees, the deer
have eaten all of the low hanging apples.
The asters are absolutely crawling with bumble bees.
All of the milkweed pods are opening.

Couldn't Resist Making Another Batch...
We decided there were so many crabapples still in our
favourite tree that we had to pick them and make another
batch of jelly & applesauce, and also this time,
apple juice!
I was delighted by this tiny little snail on
one of the crabapples...
Then we decided that we should start harvesting the big
apples as they are beginning to fall from the trees.
Vultures on the Notty
Salmon fishing yesterday with our good friends
on the Notty in Tracey's fishing boat. Came
across at least a dozen turkey vultures circling and
diving from their perches in the tall cedars,
there was a dead salmon on the east bank of the river.

Nasty nightshade...
The monarchs can't get enough of
the Sweet Joe Pye Weed!

Carpenter Bees
These carpenter bees live in a big old cedar tree
at the south end of our farm.
