I can’t believe it is November 1st! Summer has come and gone and now we are smack dab in the middle of Fall.
Our garden grew and grew and now it’s dead. We had thousands of tomatoes. Most of them ended up rotting on the vine. We just couldn’t keep up. We canned salsa, sweet pickles, dilly beans, dill pickles, tomato sauce, blackberry jam, strawberry jam, peaches, pears, and applesauce. Only a small bit actually came from our garden. Now we leave the garden area open and let the chickens clean up.
We went to bluegrass festivals…Thing 2 was free to run around barefoot and dirty-faced. She played with a grasshopper (literally) to death. Thing1 got to try out a guitar for size.
The ladies started laying eggs…and now have stopped. It’s been 5 days without eggs. It turns out that checking for eggs is one more thing for the girls to fight over.
Thing 1 is now a first grader.
There’s more…but it will have to wait until another post.
