It is FALL time!! My most favorite season!
It is so pretty with the fall colors: wish you could see what I see. Also wished i could post pictures, but my internet is too slow for that.
Here is some fall happenings here where I am in northern Alberta.
Grain farmers are harvesting their fields. Right by us the wheat fields are done, and now canola is next. It has been a bit rainy here, so has set back farmers for a couple days. I love seeing the swathers and combines in action, and the trucks taking the grain away. I have took pictures and even use my video camera some!!
The leaves are turning colors and falling. I love seeing leaves all over the yard. I don't know, it just looks so pretty to me!! The color around here is just yellow though, no reds like on maple trees.
The weather is cooler, but not cold. Not to me anyway. I am loving it!! Most mornings have been in the 40s F and day time is around 50s and 60s F. Right now it is 52F. This weather makes me want to be out side and run around like a child!! In fact I have been playing games out side with the kids in the evenings. We have the best place for hid-n-seek. Lots of out buildings and bushes and so on.
The gardens are all finished. I just canned the last of the tomatoes i had yesterday. They were picked green and as they ripened here in the house, i canned them. The root vegetables are all dug. Carrots and potatoes go in the root cellar. We have butter cup squash and zucchini squash in our basement. Lots of frozen vegys in the freezer.
Schooling is going full swing. I have Nathan in grade 6, Clayton in grade 3, and Sam in grade 1.
Keeps me very busy with them, and tending the other little ones. But everyone is doing good.
Baby Benjamin is really growing and doing wonderfully!! He wakes only once or twice during the night. I would say my best yet!
I so love this time of year and i have so loved all our time here!! So grateful for that!
At this point we have plans of heading back to Texas for the winter, and then returning again in the spring. I will miss it much.
But will be nice to see everyone in Texas again too.
Until next time,
In Him,
Mae
Right now my e-mail is down, so i have been unable to e-mail anyone.
Oh Mae, how I wish I could see what you see and experience Alberta. It sounds soooo wonderful. We will be so glad to see you if you come home for the winter.
