Autumn

With the days growing shorter (quickly!) Mick set up a shelter for the birds with some solar-powered lights in an effort to lengthen the days and encourage them to keep laying. So far this has been unsuccessful, but stay tuned for Plan B...

Speaking of eggs, I couldn't believe how much this fritata puffed up! I have heard of the legendary fluffy qualities of duck eggs. Could this be it?

With the cooler weather, Gerard has been moving more frequently between outdoor adventures...

...and indoor ones.

Meanwhile, the orchard fared well this year, drought and all.

And the sunflowers actually grew this year! Much more inspiring than last year's attempt. :)

Our sunchokes did well too. Not bad for their first year! Many of the plants wound up taller than us.

The ruminants seem to enjoy hanging out by the wild apple tree in their pen.

Happy Autumn! says our as-yet-unnamed ewe.
