“Bella Luna” rising over Iotla Valley, 10/16/2024. October’s “hunter moon” also is a supermoon. Tonight’s full moon is the closest supermoon of the year, at a distance of about 222,055 miles from Earth. Pretty cool!!!

How exciting this afternoon to discover this beautiful fruiting body sporting red seeds on our magnolia tree Pam bought at the Spartanburg Community College Hort Club fall plant sale 10 or so years ago! 👏 The dogwoods at The DBF also are quite beautiful!!

With the right equipment and his extensive skill set, Jim makes cutting, tedding, raking, and baling the grass in this field look easy. Much work for one round bale of hay. But, the field is now ready for winter! ☺️

As of the evening of 10/07/2024, it’s officially official. Franklin and Macon County, NC are welcoming folks again! 🤗 We are so blessed to have been spared catastrophic damage from Helene. 🙏

Signs that fall is in the air?
1. Leaves rustling in today’s gentle breezes
2. Beautiful rust and red leafed trees sprinkled amongst the green ones
3. Gloriously clear blue skies
4. Second cutting of hay on the ground
5. Overnight lows dipping into the 40’s (F) this week
May today’s sunshine help to lift the spirits of the folks nearby who have experienced so much devastation. 🙏

A snowy evening at The Dock Barnard Farm

Autumn At Its Best

One of the most fun and beautiful outings ever! (October 25, 2015; Upper End of Buck Creek, Western NC)

Part of our working farm, the 2 fields at The Dock Barnard Farm yield hay for our cattle. Step 1: grow the grass. Step 2: mow the hay! 😊

A quiet evening, 8:30pm, at The Dock Barnard Farm, as the birds are going to roost. Peaceful, tranquil, close to nature, such a wonderful respite from life's little stresses! 😊
