Fall has almost officially arrived. The garden is winding down, the
pumpkins are bright orange and the pigs are getting huge! School has
started, there are frost warnings out for the area and the wood stove in
the kitchen has been put to use already.
It seems as if there is
nothing but meetings galore this week. After playing for most of the
summer, it's now time to get back to business. Budgets are in the
process of being created and discussed. Warmer coats, gloves and hats
are being dug out from the closet.
The grandchildren, Camden,
Jayda and Sage were over this weekend and wanted to earn a few extra
dollars. They helped me stack quite a bit of wood. Cam and Jayda reached
their goal of 200 pieces of wood, while Sage was very content with his
111 pieces. At the much discussed agreed upon price of 10 cents each, I
lost and gained on the deal. Lots of wood stacked!! My slush fund money
is quite drained, though!
Canning and freezing lots of vegetables
from the garden. Last nights dinner was fresh cabbage. Tonight is
shelled beans and string beans. The brussel sprouts are still growing.
Pumpkins will be harvested this weekend.
If the fuzz on the
horses and pony are any indication, we are headed for an early winter. I
would love it if someone were to tell me that my predictions are
wrong! Stay warm!
