Most of our chickens are looking kind of pitiful this time of year, coming off a molt, but this big guy doesn't look any worse for the wear.
I spy one fat rooster, who's been stealing all the food.
Remember last year, during leaf jumping pics, when a tremendously huge spider crawled right on Pierce's head? Yeah, I haven't forgotten that either. No spiders so far this year, thankfully.
I spy a jumping boy.
The twins were big enough to join in the fun.
I spy Thing 1.
I spy Thing 2.
We have many nuts on the ground. I wish we had one of those things to process the walnuts - as we have tons and they are so good for you. But the nutcracker deals that are very efficient are also very expensive. So for now, our squirrels enjoy them.
I spy little hands full of protein....if only we had the tools to crack some shells!
I spy a child in the leaves!
I spy a big nest in the tree!
I spy dew on the leaves, even though it's well into afternoon.
I spy a little spiderweb in the sun.
I spy a tractor, taking a rest. At least until the snows come.
What do you spy where you live?
This post linked with Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop where the prompt was to take pictures of Fall.
I love fall! Your pictures are gorgeous. I love the one of the fat rooster :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a delightful post! Your boys are so cute and look like they are enjoying the best fall has to offer!
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos :)
ReplyDeleteYou've still got a ton of color..our trees are almost bare.
I just love fall! It looks like your boys do too! Those are some great ,fun picts!
ReplyDeleteThe twins looks so happy! You get to spy such wonderful things where you live.
ReplyDeleteLooks like those kiddos of yours are having a blast in the fall on a farm. Very cute and beautiful photos of fall!

Hope you don't have to rake all those leaves. This year has been a good color year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics. I love Virginia in the fall. I was just there a couple of weeks ago. I grew up in the mountains of VA. In Nelson County. Which area do you live?
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Mama Kat's. I posted pics of GA Fall... that's where I call home now.
that was fun. no fall leaves here yet. oaks are holding on tight to their leaves.
ReplyDeleteSure seems that Fall was here--and gone!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to take pics of the kids in the leaves. Too bad we hardly had a chance to rake them! :)
The kids love leaf piles here as well. Now, if I can keep our big dog from peeing in the leaf piles, I'd have it made.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that that leaf pile is beckoning me? They look so happy and your pictures seem like where you live is so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteFall around here is so beautiful. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this fancy nutcracker you speak of that costs so much money? I've only seen the hand held ones that are less than $20.
it's so pretty there lisa. i have wonderful memories of playing in the leaves with my boys!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Lisa-I love all of your wonderful pictures. And I'm glad there were no spiders this year!!
ReplyDeleteLove the post.I am folowing you, I hope you will follow me back
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm spying your joy filled blog! Wonderful pictures, my favorite is the one right after the nuts, a little boy buried in leaves in front of a fence and shed. I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI spy snow:(
ReplyDeleteVery cute pics! And I'm following you from MBS or MBC...I can't remember.

I'm so glad this year was spider-free! Jumping in the leaves is such a childhood joy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, here's hoping your get your walnut machine someday!
It is beautiful there!
ReplyDeleteI saw you on MBC and am in love with your blog! I also love running, small children, fall, and I totally want chickens in my backyard! Unfortunately, chickens will have to wait a while...at least I can have the rest!

I just love blac walnuts. We used to have a lot of black walnut trees when we live on 100 acres... now we live on less than an acre with no walnut trees... In fact we only have a couple of trees of any kind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures! I love how you did the "I Spy" version of it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful post for autumn! You have some wonderful pictures! This morning, I spied some snowflakes in the air...but now they are gone, thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteLove the Blog I am your newest follower from MBC!

ReplyDeleteCan I have a go on your lovely blue tractor please Lisa?
Snow. I spy snow. Which is why I'm in Arizona;)
ReplyDeleteYour place looks beautiful...fall is my favorite season....wish it would last til spring!
Where you live is just gorgeous!!! I'm glad the boys had so much playing in the leaves. And so happy there have been no more large spider incidents--Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are beautiful! I love the ones of them playing in the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me about your soup recipe by the way. Have a great weekend :)
My Oh My! What a houseful of "handsome" you're gonna have on your hands one day!!! My Grandmother handed down a little handheld metal nut cracker, that if you can find, I can't imagine it costing more than $5 at the very most. If I ever find a link to one, I'll shoot it to you. Can't believe you have so many nuts on the ground!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!! I love all those leaves and I'm glad you didn't come across a big spider again eewww scary!!
ReplyDeleteYour kids must love playing outdoors where you live :)
Every time I read you posts I think what a great life you are giving these kids. sandie
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all your Fall beauty. We haven't even played in leaves around here!
ReplyDeleteYou must have some pretty happy squirrels...
ReplyDeleteOur pretty leaves are gone now. We are trying to embrace what is left of Fall before Winter arrives.
I adore all these pictures and I'm so glad I found your blog through the Hop at Mom Loop! I also have horses, toddlers, and love the outdoors. I'm looking forward to reading and I'm now following. I hope you'll head over to my site too at www.mommywithselectivememory.blogspot.com
