OH how I LOVE Fall. After the mild drought (that we're still in) and the prolonged stretches of 90+ degree summer weather in our area of Missouri, being able to wake up to a cold-crisp morning, pull on jeans and boots, and go out to do our morning chores with a nip in the air is truly GLORIOUS.
The tasks on the homestead are changing with the seasons, too. Now that it's cooler, we can leave our goats out to forage all day (instead of bringing them in during the hottest parts of the day like we'd been doing), we don't have to worry about the rabbits overheating, and the chickens are delighting in the huge array of seeds that are now up for their tasting pleasure. Likewise, I can bake bread again (hurray!), Andrew can put on his wood-cutting safety gear without roasting, and there is a huge amount of wild bounty to start foraging.
Also we can make hot chocolate every night. PERKS OF BEING ADULTS, haha.
So, here's a video of some of the autumnal fun in action--
How have your chores changed with the season?
