Autumn time on the farm

Well it's Autumn here at the farm.. Autumn is my favorite time of the year, but it's also a busy time too.. 
Since we just move back here, we have no buildings set up for the rabbits and chickens.. They have housing but only the kind that is good for summer.. That's what I will be working on next week..
It's also time to start breeding the rabbits.. Meat rabbits for food and lops and lionheads for sale.. Takes 28 days to have kits.. That's what baby rabbits are called.. 
I'm also expanding my garden.. 3 times the size it is now.. I'll be able to can and freeze more next year plus sell extra in a roadside stand.
So besides thinking of the fun work ahead of me this fall, guess I'll think of the other fun things I like..
I love the cooler weather. I like summer but there nothing like curling up with a blanket and watching a chic flick..  Ready for cute sweater weather.. I love the way the leaves Change colors.. It's not doing that here yet but they are trying..

Below is my son...This was taken last fall.. He would probably kill me for posting this...(we wont tell him)
Yes this are my favorite Fall things..
 I'm still harvesting cherry tomatoes...Still making sauces..
Oh almost forgot the sweet potatoes I harvested.. Yummy                                                            
Saving these for special dinners and Thanksgiving... If I can wait that long...

 Now that its October,I start looking for Pumpkin Patches.. I love roasted pumpkin seeds and carving funny faces in the pumpkins
