Asher Farm Market & Asher Farm

I have no idea what happened.... but I never do. Its MIDDLE September, summer is gone, fall is approaching quickly. Such a nice time of year, the days are still warm but our nights have a nice coolness to them.

One of my favorite things as the nights cool, is to throw open a window, and stick a box fan in it at night and blow that cool night air into the room.  THAT is some good sleep!! We have a pond about 30 yards from our bedroom window, and the frogs and crickets sing their own night songs. Its amazing.Some nights you wake to the crazy hoots and laughs of barred owls hanging in the trees, or the soft subtle hoot hoot hoots of a barn owl. A breeze might rustle the leaves... it just makes for a magic night.

I've been pickling okra, my husband loves it!! I've been wanting to try my hand at pickling eggs but I never seem to get to THAT!! It won't be long and peanuts and pecans will be available and it will be time to make peanut and pecan brittle!! The kitchen smells SO GOOD when I'm making candy!!

I haven't cooked much all summer, makes the kitchen hot, but now I'm thinking about those great winter stews and hot soups, the pound cakes with hot tea and the crunchy peanutty goodness of home made brittle. The house warms up from a busy kitchen and smells amazing when you come through the door.

Seasons change, our seasons in life changes too, always look for the good, do your best to avoid and ignore the bad... don't be afraid of change, most of us don't like change but it can refresh us, and move us forward!! Summer slowly turns to fall, and Fall will turn to winter... and that's a good thing!!
