November's Bliss...

Ahhhhh... November, I truly can't believe it's here, BUT we walk outdoor & nature speaks to us showing signs that November IS here.  SO much to prepare for during this month that has the meaning of... THANKFULNESS.  I wanted to share with you JUST what nature is offering here on our LITTLE FARM...

I'm THANKFUL for this MUM that has survived '4' years now!

And OH, how the MAPLES are putting on a show...

I'm THANKFUL that this MAPLE has grown to provide the beautiful foliage it's offering & for the future shade that I will be SO grateful for.

I DEARLY love chippy, cracked paint especially in WHITE! 

I'm THANKFUL for my hubby laboring to build the patio's that we have here with OLD, RESCUED BRICKS & for the SEDUM that has sneaked in between the cracks.

This is planted by the POTTING SHED & provides lots of shading in the shed.  We all have YET to get the REAL name to this grass/sorghum.

I'm THANKFUL for the TRUE GARDENER that gifted me this plant, it surely has been a conversational plant.

I adore... SIMPLICITY with RUSTY!

I'm THANKFUL to enjoy VINTAGE piece's such as these, that they didn't end up in a landfield somewhere, BUT instead, in my back lawn/yard.

ONLY here you would find... OLD STUMPS for sitting & PLANTED PUMPKINS... This pumpkin is holding one of my FAVORITE'S & our MOST POPULAR here... a perennial named GAILLARDIA.  It blooms ALL Summer & still goes on blooming til hard frost & then returns the following year happy as can be!

I'm THANKFUL for the neighbors offering up these... STUMPS, so we could have more sitting here & there.

LOOKIE... at what I found while cleaning the gardens... the LAST blooming SHASTA DAISY & I truly think all the energy went toward this ONE stem that produced '2' blooms connected... like a '2' headed dragon!

I'm THANKFUL for the Lord allowing me & giving me the health to play in my gardens on a daily basis... THANK YOU LORD!

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of November's Bliss here at Beehind Thyme Garden & Wares... Nature can REALLY offer the BEST gifts!

Autumn Blessings...

Preserving the HARVEST...

I JUST can't find myself throwing out all the perfectly good PUMPKINS & SQUASH that we had left over from the Autumn growing season... SO I've now taken half of the harvest, cleaned, scooped & cubed til my heart's content... LOL, there's that word again... CONTENT!
Needless to say, I'm scouting out LOTS of recipes that have PUMPKIN listed as an ingredient.

And I'm EVEN preserving the seed... for roasting. Halloween evening was spent... carving pumpkins, roasting pumpkin seed & sipping on hot tea... WHAT ELSE SPELLS... Autumn!!!

EASY ROASTING...
I rinsed the seed completely removing the pulp, then I bloated with paper towel, tossed with olive oil & seasoned with salt.  Spread on baking sheet at 200 degrees for about 35 - 45 minutes.  I kept watch on them throughout, because it depends on quantity of seed roasting... THEY WERE DELIGHTFUL!

I have MORE to preserve... PLUS I'm saving some for my November decorating indoor... they STILL have much enjoyment to offer.

Autumn Blessings!

Nothing like the COUNTRY LIFE...

As many of you may know... I'm VERY content in my own, little world here on these '4' small acres & that's OK, because at the very same time... I'm hoping that YOU are blessed with contentment in your own heart as well. With this being said... my chickens are apart of that LITTLE WORLD & they bring SUCH joy to each day, if you have chickens you totally understand the enjoyment.

And of course, with chickens come... EGGS, in our case, an abundance of EGGS, BUT I'm truly NOT complaining!  I dearly love that time of evening when I take basket in hand & head for the hen house... it's as if I'm gifted each day with surprise's. My hubby has even been caught gathering the EGGS with a smile on his face! 

We take pride in our chickens, on their daily living, the food they eat & how they are treated to keep health a #1 priority, SO 'they' can offer the BEST EGGS.

We now offer FRESH COUNTRY EGGS
4-SALE here at our LITTLE FARM!
Please, feel free to stop in anytime for a piece of the COUNTRY!

Blessings, Pamela
