No matter what the weather or the day of the week, when you have living things that depend on you, you take care of it. Life on the farm, life in the garden, in the greenhouse, the backyard and the living room tooā¦
So knocking out todays check list took a little longer than expectedā¦ but it got done, and then we had brunch š
Later this evening weāre gonna have a good bonfire š„ Nothing much better than thatā¦
āEvery dayāĀ
Sunup, sundownāĀ
You will findĀ
A chore āround.Ā
Forget the listĀ
Of things “to do, ”Ā
One never finishes,Ā
Nor is through.Ā
They multiplyĀ
Throughout the dayā¦Ā
Won’t go away.Ā
They’re here to stay.ā
~ Walterrean Salley
Have a great Sunday!

Good Morning š Turn around and another week has passedā¦ Itās Waterfall Wednesday!
Today I was looking at all the leaves š on the ground and blown into piles around the placeā¦ It gives me a melancholy feelingā¦ But, it always does, and I know itās just part of the changing of seasons. So I try to find beauty in the leaves, and I guarantee you one thingā¦ My Waterfall helps! Check out this short reel featuring my leaf strewn Waterfall and the voice of an angel, Eva Cassidyā¦
#Waterfallwednesday is here! The weekend is coming! Enjoy this day!

We have had a long, HOT Summer and have enjoyed feeding our āFinned Friendsā every dayĀ Ā But now we are going into the cooler months of the year and one of the most asked questions I get is ā āWhen do I STOP feeding my Koi in the Fall?ā
Itās very important to take your fish into the colder months as healthy & happy as possible! They are cold blooded and their metabolism will soon slow to a crawl! So feeding the right foods now will really help them for their long journey through Fall & Winter.
When the water temperature hits 60 degrees I discontinue regular Koi Food and start feeding Cool Season Koi Food. I also start giving them some daily treats like fresh or frozen veggies and fruits like (peas, carrots, grapefruit, oranges & melon). These food are a good source ofĀ vitamins & minerals and help to ready them for the Winter.
After the water temp drops to 55 degrees I slow my feeding down to 1 time per day with just cool temp Koi food. Then after the water has reached 50 degreeās F. (sustained around 10 days time) STOP all feeding until Spring!
This is tough on meā¦ BUT, I know itās something that I have to do for their overall health. Feeding them when their metabolism is in Winter mode can/will kill them! So even on a warm day when they are literally begging for food ā DONāT DO IT!
And donāt forget ā keep the skimmer free of leaves & other debris. I even drape a leaf net over my Pond. It keeps maintenance down to a minimum.
Enjoy this beautiful #Pondtiptuesday!
Happy Pondering!

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year!ā¤ļøš One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to hang out around the fire-pit with family and friends. Watching a fire š„ burn is much like watching a Waterfallā¦ You can relax and just be, and not worry about other thingsā¦ This is a perfect place of Zen.
Last nights fire š„ was a good one! It helped to set the tone for the week aheadā¦
Have a great Monday!

What a beautiful morning! The sun is out and itās so warm I was able to sit outside in my shorts and a T-shirt this morning š We are past our 1st frost and freeze now, so I guess you can call this an Indian Summerā¦ And Iāll take it! In 8 days we will celebrate Halloween š Then we enter the Holiday Season š¦ šIt all comes so fast šØ Iām still trying to enjoy the Fall Color before it disappearsā¦ Here are a few pictures of some Fall Color that I have captured on film over time. Enjoy the season at hand, itās the best one, and the only one thatās real right Now ā¤ļø
Colorful foliage, almost no bugs, beautiful weather, football, fire pitsā¦ I Love Fall šššš„
āLooking out my window
In October’s golden light,Ā
I see a beauty unsurpassed,
A truly lovely sight.
Leaves are saying soft good-byes
As they come floating down
To make a nature’s carpet
Of yellow, red, and brown.
Mountain tops, now turned to white,
Forewarn of winter chills,
While trees, like golden rivers,
Wind their way up through the hills.
Throughout our world’s creation
You will ever find it thus,
Kaleidoscopes of color,
In God’s hand, the artist’s brush.ā
~ Alora M. Knight
Have a great Sunday šš»

Is it just me or is October moving fast šØ Only 12 days till Halloween š And itās already #waterfallwednesdayā¦ Scratch that, itās #waterfeaturewednesday! š„
Checkout this beautiful Custom Fountain. Itās a disappearing fountain, meaning the water flows into an underground chamber where itās stored and recirculates from there.
I just LOVE this Water Feature ā¤ļø It sounds so good š It really sets the mood in this beautiful backyard patio garden šŖ“ With the lighting, it becomes a 24 hour featureā¦ Enjoy it all night! It just keeps on bubbling bubbling bubblingā¦
Have a Great #waterfeaturewednesday! #waterfallwednesday
