Fall’s beauty is on full display at the farm. This autumn has simply been spectacular here in Ohio. I’m not sure why, but this just seems like one of the best ever.

Perhaps it has been the incredible stretch of warm, sunny days with brilliantly blue skies. Or maybe it’s the perfectly crisp, cool nights with the stars shining bright above.
Actually, I think for us, it is that we are now officially full-time residents of the farm. And no matter the weather or the season, everyday is a great day.
We thought with all of Fall’s beauty in full force, it would be a great time to take a stroll and snap a few photos for the first time as “official” residents of the farm.
We hope you enjoy the photos below as much as we enjoyed taking them. Happy Fall! – Jim and Mary.
