okay, not a yard, really. we won't be purchasing a riding lawn mower anytime soon, or anything. but we have been clearing the alder patch in front of the house and devising plans for apple trees, strawberries, razberries, and the like. (a fruit yard!) i love this time of year. even when it rains too much. there is something about all the tourists being gone and everyone coming down off the summer rush (yet the february edge hasn't set in yet) and those fall get togethers - dancing, whiskey, and the neighborhood bus ride home - and burning piles of brush. it almost makes me want to invest in a big stump cutter-outer (what are those things called, anyways?). i'll quit teaching and go into the brush-clearing business! the crazy part is that i'm slightly serious. anyways, here are a few picts of my favorite fall-time things: the last flowers from the garden + muddy boots, napping by the stove, and crazy chain-saw andy.

i love the idea of a fruit yard. and what are you talking about "wanting to be a homesteader" isn't that what you are????!!!
