A Mountain Hearth

Tales of Modern Homesteading and Outdoor Adventure

November 5, 2010

Autumn in the Country: A Tour in Photographs

In the rolling hills, and fields, and farmlands Autumn has covered everything like a warm colorful quilt in preparation for the winter. Gardens are harvested, pantries are full, flocks of geese are departing overhead and cheerful wisps of smoke curl out of chimneys. This fall has been magnificent with the late warm weather and sunny days. My wish to have my favorite season go on and on seems to be coming true. There are so many beautiful things to see this time of year out in Oregon’s countryside, I thought I’d share a few here.

Spider’s Lace

Golden Orb Spider’s Egg Sac in the Wheat
Chickens Eating Wind-fall Apples
Vine Maple (Acer Circinatum)
Golden Leaves Make Their Way Indoors
Afternoons Spent Under the Mulberry Tree

Welcome

Out here in Oregon, I enjoy the rough-hewn life of a modern homesteader and mountain woman, weaving the outdoors into the fabric of daily life. Whether tending this McKenzie River homestead hearth or a campfire in the backcountry, I find great enjoyment in the work of a sustainable life. Gather around as I share my tales of outdoor adventure, conservation, restoration, land stewardship, wildcrafting, handcrafting, growing food, and keeping chickens. It is my hope to share ideas and inspiration, and strengthen connections with the land and wild places. Read More…
