Another Autumn Day..


Good Evening dear hearts... 
I am glad you are here.. 

First of all I want to thank you sweet girls for leaving such lovely comments last post.. 
I hope you don't mind that I really did need to hear them.. 
Such an encouragement when you are in a slump or what have you.. 
And for all of your prayers.. 
As far as I know all is well with the old ticker and it is working fine.. 
Thank you, Jesus... 

Anyway... here I am again.. 
Hoping that I will have something interesting for you.. 

Terry and I worked around the house today for awhile and then we headed out to the old farm for the rest of the day.. 

The old barn up above is a fave of mine.. 
Especially, in the Fall... 

And of course my friend... 


Isn't he just delicious"-)
I would dearly love to have a donkey..  
That is all I will say.. grin..

Anyway... other shots along the old country road leading to the farm... 

They still use this church.. 


I caught this one trying to get over to the other side.. 
The grass must look greener, eh?  smile.. 
But do you know something?  
It isn't... 
So many people do the same thing, don't they?
Leave behind the important things.. 
And look to new things that really are not any better.. 
Just a different location.. 
That's all I will say about that, I guess.. smile.. 


Well, there is the driveway and there is ...


the farm.. 
Still there.. 


Would you look at those hills.... 

The beautiful belt of maples running up the centre... 
 God is just so creative, eh? 

Terry is taking the power saw and cutting some trees down that are growing along the brook that flows from the old spring.. 
And me.. 
Well, I am trying out a new recipe...


Another Zucchini Cake.. 
It is out of my Mennonite cookbook... 


Terry liked this.. 
It is a heavy European type cake.. 
It is a shame that the stove has no temperature guide on it.. 
It turned out a bit crisp on the edges..  
We just cut them off and Sammi loved them.. grin..

And now it is time to go back home..


The moon has come up and all is well... 
Another lovely day that God has blessed us with.. 
A sweet time together... 

Thanks for visiting ... 
And for your sweet comments.. 
I hope you know that I read and cherish each and every one.. 

How are you all enjoying your Fall days? 
Take care, now...

  5. Loved the drive to the farm, the photos are so beautiful!
    It seems like going home, never to a place I have been,
    But the feeling is the same. It calls to your heart,
    And welcomes you in.
    Our peak color is this week, have been out and about,
    Enjoying it all I can. The big craft's festival is this
    Weekend, and Homecoming at our church. Lots to enjoy.
    Hugs and blessings!

  6. Our rain has returned to Oregon, as of last Friday. It's good to hear..it's raining cuz I can hear it tinkling on the skylight in the dining room. The leaves are starting to turn and have had to sweep our front step and walk to keep them out. Hoping it doesn't rain too much on the weekend since we are going to my nephew's 18th birthday and party is at the park. I am taking a potato salad. What's a BBQ without a homemade potato salad. Always your out and about photos. I have some last week but they are still in the camera!

  8. Faye, I always love your posts. They are so comforting and peaceful. You have a blessed life! Your pictures are wonderful, as always. :-)

  9. Good morning Faye, as always I so love taking road trips with you. I just love seeing the countryside. Even more so now that my own car has died and now the mister has decided we will get another one as ours is older and he doesn't want to sink that much money into repairing it. And I HATE dealing with dealerships which is what we are going to be doing the weekend. I have been home lots more without a ride so going along with you was a special treat. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend

  10. I love that first photo and any of old barns and foliage... the combination is superb.

    I was curious what the title of that Mennonite Cookbook is. You know I used to be a Conservative Mennonite and let me tell you, IT STILL runs deeps - those roots. :)

    I'm sitting here with my breakfast of a cup of coffee and bowl of Pumpkin Custard, taken out of one my Mennonite Cookbooks (a local one of our area) and nobody likes it but me and the baby. I just shake me head...

  11. Hi Faye;

    We were in California for two weeks as my husband had a work thing in L.A. We had a great time and our daughter joined us for the second week.

    I missed you and your blog. We need to get together for a visit.
