Little Farm surrounded in yellow

I 've just got to do one more post about the leaves and the colors of fall before the last leaf falls.

As much as I hate to see summer end, there is something magical about fall that takes me back, makes me dream. I could sit in a warm spot under these yellow leaves for hours...


Rosie is a little vacuum. She picks up every leaf and sometimes stands looking up, waiting for the next one to fall...

It has been a while since I've talked about our teeny tiny (make believe) farm. Looking more and more like time is running out for my dream of a having a barn with a loft filled with hay, a donkey, a wooden fence around a pasture of green grass.  Oh well, part of my dream was a log cabin and that we have...and chickens...

Just past that yellow tree sits the little red hen house...


and you may remember the brush pile I built for the chickens to play on. Have added a few limbs over the years...


Last Mother's Day I bought 5 baby chicks from Tractor Supply Company. They were tiny babies and now it's hard to tell them from the old hens. 

These three are new, only 6 months old and one has started laying, a small light brown egg . Aren't they pretty!

Someone left the front gate open. Where is Ellie, I wonder...

Leaves, leaves, leaves! and every year I wonder, will I be able to rake leaves this year? Well, so far, so good! It took 8 tarp loads to cover the teeny tiny garden with willow oak leaves.


and this very yellow tree is a Redbud that I planted in a pot then let it grow too big to be moved...

another yellow tree, an Ash of some kind down by the pond and near Randall Rabbit's lot...

and here we go around the pond, walking Ellie, our stepping stones are completely covered in leaves...that's Poppy in front. Ellie and I lag behind. 

and on around the path. Look closely and see the purple obedient plants in bloom...

I stopped and got this picture of Randall Rabbit's home. It's the little house with the green roof, across the pond...

Randall, seemed to me, hasn't felt well lately. Plus, he has been shedding and drooling a lot. He spent Tuesday at the vet's office getting a check-up. The vet sedated him and checked his teeth thinking he might have a bad one. Rabbits do have teeth problems that can be serious. Well, they found nothing wrong. Nothing! I'm very glad but the Vet bill!! I haven't had Randall neutered because I felt like it was too expensive. Well, Tuesday's bill would have covered having him neutered. :( Randall was sound asleep in his little house here...

Randall has his home back. The two small Lionhead rabbits, Daisy and Sage moved to their new home behind the chicken lot...

more room to play, their very own ramp and a chair to nap in. 

and a three story house.

Oh dear, I have made this way too long. I understand if you turned me off and gone to bed. :) So many pictures. I do get carried away. I'm saying good night now, but can't go without one more picture...here's Smokey in the leaves...

Love, Henny
