The air is crisp and the skies clear..

Autumn Joy

The birds love the various Autumn berries that are popping up all over the yard..

Insects have been noshing on this fallen limb

We bought this sculpture at a craft fair in Calistoga ,California while I was 7 months

pregnant with my Princess. We were there to attend Farmer Dad's little brother's wedding.

A little birdie

stopped by today in our little corner of the Garden State.

They didn't eat all the raspberries though, we found a couple to enjoy

as we played with friends in the yard.

Today in the Garden State

Sorry it has been so long since I blogged here... Today we were outside all day...enjoying the end of Summer in our corner
of the Garden State. The above photo shows the cranberries. We have flowers again..

This Butternut Squash flower just makes me feel happy.

The Figs are ripening!!!

An Organic Backyard Garden in New Jersey

We have butternut squash growing up over the green beans... Bugs are welcome

we aim for a harmonious balance between bugs who eat our food, and the bugs

who eat them.

This little cucumber is getting a second wind...

Butterflies are encouraged to come and go at whim

with lots of their favorite plants surrounding the vegetable garden

Heirloom tomatoes

a golden squash

grown from organic seed right here by us...

Zucchini and swiss chard too...

We know the balance is working when so many different creatures

choose to make their home right here..

Can you see the Robin in the plum tree?
