After pressing our Red Apple Cider, we dumped the mash out in the corner of our property in the woods… looks like we fed a grizzly one night and he left us a present in return! π The good news is that we have not had any sign of him since this photo was taken!!

Some more mushrooms! This one is growing on the “Cuervo Tree”!!

And this variety gets up to about 8 inches across!

We’ve had some Golden Eagles hanging around for the last several weeks – what an amazing bird!! This one let me get right underneath him!

This photo is of the last gorgeous Fall colour at Redtail Rise before the late-September snowstorm… a thundershower had moved off to the east and the sun, as it was setting in the west, came out from the clouds.

Before the worst of the snowstorm moved in, I picked all of the tomatoes… and the few peppers we had…

I was also able to grab the last of the flowers… a double yellow lily, a couple calla lilies and dahlias…

And, in came the snow. We ended up getting about 6 inches over the weekend, which wasn’t bad especially compared to south of us… no trees down, no tree limbs broken; but it did wipe out the last of the gardens.

Katie says “But, I don’t want to move away from the heat vent!”
