We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
Winnie Nielsen says: You are so lucky to live in a place that explodes in Fall color and beauty!
Bonnie ellis says: A beautiful fall day and a lovely place. It snowed here today.
Cindi says: Ha! A farmgirl’s golf cart. Love it!
Winnie Nielsen says: Hehehe, my kinda farm equipment. This is MY Farmgirl Romance!!
Winnie Nielsen says: Love this view with the big sky and rolling hills!
bonnie ellis says: It really is beautiful country. I want to put a quilt on that barn though.
Winnie Nielsen says: There is something special to me about the face of an owl. For some reason, they can appear to peer into you with inquisitive eyes. Although it seems to also happen with crows, I never get that experience from song birds.
Lisa A says: Cute!
Bonnie ellis says: Beautiful owl and quite a coincidence that you posted that picture today. Just went to a slide talk by a fantastic naturalist this afternoon who talked about owls. His name is Stan Teikela. He just came out with a book about them. He is a photographer, teacher, radio talk show host and author of many books about birds and animals.
MaryJane says: We found this little guy/gal in the corner of our barn. What an interesting talk that must have been, Bonnie.
I think it it owl’s faces that endear them to us. I once was a “foster mother ” to an injured baby screech owl. She as so adorable and fit in the palm of your hand but……… screech owls scream in high decibels of loudness. Trust me you will do ANYTHING to keep them happy ! PRONTO! She was so loud it literally hurt your ears.
Winnie Nielsen says: It is Fall at the B&B at MJF. Time to fire up the little woodstove inside for sleeping in perfect comfort!
Winnie Nielsen says: We are getting lots of beautiful butterflies and moths here lately as it is that time of year. Sometimes the sides of the roads are full of butterflies and fall wild flowers along some rural routes.
Such a pretty picture! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all. And I love your magazine!!!

Happy Halloween,MaryJane! Let the Pumpkin Moonshines shine tonight.
Aww ! one of my favorite Victorian Halloween Images, have several forms of this one. I go all out for Halloween. And all Saints Day and Día de Muertos, where I celebrate the lives of those dearly departed ( in my case the only nearby graves are of my 3 late cats) It is such a sweet holiday and such a wonderful, joyous tradition. Look it up on wikipedia:
