Hello October!

Fall is a season of change! A season of saying goodbye to the sunny warm summer, the fresh veggies from the garden, the happy buzzing of the bees travelling for pollen & nectar and the long days of warm days on the farm.

While I absolutely LOVE summer, fall is a season to appreciate the beauty of change and lets face it fall is beautiful! The colorful scenery of the country side changes into an ocean of yellows, oranges and reds. Now in reality these colors dont last long in the Peace Country, our wind often comes in this time of year and blows all the leaves off the trees and it becomes brown but that just means we need to enjoy fall while we have it.

This season of change also brings on a different list of chores around the farm, that often seems endless but it all gets done one way or another;) The honey all gets extracted, the bees get fed and prepared for winter, the gardens and greenhouses get cleaned out, hoses put away and the list goes on and on!

On a more personal note, besides the fall farm work and preparing for winter, we try to take sometime to celebrate our anniversary. Some years that is a nice dinner out together and sometimes we get a chance to get away and relax. Yes we got married in October of 2001, so 24 years this year. We decided to take some extra time and run away to Radium Hot Springs for a long weekend this year, which was lovely! Back story, we actually went to Radium Hot Springs on our honeymoon 24 years ago, seems like a lifetime ago but also just yesterday, crazy how time flies! So nice to relax and come back rejuvenated and ready to hit the ground running and get everything done.

Well I better get my butt outside and check some chores off my list! Enjoy fall guys! Carve pumpkins, seat by the bonfire, enjoy the warmth of sweaters again and most importantly LIVE IN THE MOMENT!
