Fall is at Cranberry Acre!

Seems like this year has flown by. Here we are only a couple days from our first frost and a couple of weeks for Halloween.


Fall happens to be my favorite time of year, with all the smells and colors, it's just beautiful. Been pretty busy here on Cranberry Acre, with fixing fences and trying to get the addition up on the barn. Not to mention craft shows and canning. Things are slowing down for us and I now have time to go out and enjoy our little farm.
This year at Farmer's Market I bought some plants from Grayson LandCare and they are now blooming. 

Love this little guy. 

All of the rain fro the past few weeks has caused our little Spring to become a little creek. Everyone is enjoying the fresh water and Lovey duck is back to taking her morning baths.

Our Maple tree is so pretty this time of year. Never seems to last as long as I woulf like it but I'll take it.



The view from the side of our little farm house.

Ms. Snowball has fit right in and I have found out really like to have her picture taken. She almost posses for each picture.

Ms. Jojo ( aka. Ms. Trouble) Will eat and has eaten things I never thought a goat would eat. 

She is a real mess at times, but I love her.

One of our stepping stones.

Sparkles and Mr. Luther have been fighting for a couple of days so I couldn't resist getting a picture of them being peaceful with each other.

Poor Ms. Silver, she is molting and very mad at the world right now. I don't think she has had a nice thing to say to me at all in the morning.

Last night after dinner all the rest of the goats went to graze, but Sparkles fell asleep while the flock ate around her. Was to funny when she woke she was all confused and seemed to be embarrassed about it.

The ever so pretty Ms. Beauty

Ms Bella
Oh yo be a cat. Look how relaxed he is.

Ms. Short stuff trucking along. Love this little bird. Such a small package for such a large attitude.

Sn ever so rare picture of Ms. Curly. She never seems to sit still long enough to get a picture, I think she was sleepy.
So this is the Farm in the Fall. We have been very busy this year and are proud to announce that we now have a booth in one of our local store "Briar Patch Mountain Marketplace, in Galax, VA. We are trying to improve our Etsy store and are learning so much. We do hope soon to have the addition done to the barn before the first snow, but we will see. Finding time is a hard thing to do. 
With things slowing down I do hope to have more time to dedicate to the Blog. There is so much to share. Until then Everyone have a safe Halloween!!!
