November at the Farm

*You would see a mom busily cleaning in preparation for the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving. You would see the list hanging on the fridge for the 'big' shopping trip to purchase what she needs for the meal. You would also see candles lit and burning putting off a warm and inviting glow. You would see our dd coloring or drawing thanksgiving type pictures like pilgrims, turkeys and cornucopias. You would also see her at some point working on her unit study about Thanksgiving and pilgrims. You would see trees becoming bare as Old Man Winter makes his way here. You would see the ground blanketed with many colors of leaves making a wonderful quilt for the burrowing critters. You see leaves dancing in the breeze as they make their way to the ground to finding their place in the tapestry quilt

*You would hear the the wind rustling the leaves that are on the trees and the ones that have fallen to the ground. You would hear roosters crowing, goats bleating, puppies playing, and guineas making their little nosies as they explore life outside the coop. And if you be still and listen you will always hear the voice of the Lord speaking to your heart about His greatness all around you. You would also hear the sound of a mamma hen brooding her babies and clucking to them and keeping them from danger.

*You would smell apple cinnamon candles buring throughout the house, mixed with the aroma of our newly found favorite pumpkin bread or possibly an apple pie baking the oven. We do alot of crock pot cooking this time of year so theres no shortage of chili, stews, or pot roast at our house...You will always smell something good in the farm kitchen! You would smell the crisp air and 'dampness' of autumn.

*You would get a taste of life on a farm, life with an autistic child and a taste of the freedom that unschooling can bring to a family. You would also be welcome with a steaming hot cup of coffee and some kind of freshly baked pie or bread which is almost always available.

*You would feel a bit chilly outside as the air is crisper and much cooler now. You would feel all warm inside as you peeked in on the baby chicks that have just hatched there is just something about babies on a farm that makes ya feel warm inside. Inside the house you would feel snuggly warm as you sat in the recliner and we visited and sipped our coffee and enjoyed each others fellowship. We would do our best to make you feel welcomed into our home and into our lives.

*Right now this is our critter count, but this is always subject to change :0)

*40+ Chickens-- *7 Guinea Fowl-- *5 Goats-- *1 Sow-- *2 Pigeons(getting ready to be 3)--
