Late Summer Into Fall

Autumn seemed especially spectacular this year. We spent a beautiful day walking up to Huber Grove and I couldn't help from snapping lots of photos. The contrasting reds and greens and foggy gray sky were amazing. This is just a sampling and doesn't do justice to the real deal. Sometimes I marvel at the beauty of the place where we live.

 We grew a GIANT rhubarb plant this summer. It lasted until the middle of September. The stalks were as big as Stella's arm and the leaves like giant lily pads. Kathy Simis gave us a tasty recipe for rhubarb cake so I finally know what to do with it.

We had some fun hiking adventures up Pine Canyon. We saw a moose, pushed the chariot up some really steep hills and ate lunch with a view at the top.

There is always fun to be had at the farm. Stella went on her first real horse ride on Tim

The rope swing and shedding trees are a good front yard combination in the fall. Stella is always trying to get tricky. Luckily no more bones have been broken. As Amelia Bedilia says in Stella's current favorite book "fall is in the air, and on the ground too"
