Another typical workweek has gone by followed by another busy weekend. Kevin had the Scouts out for Flowers Funny Farm - an annual October event. They camp on the other side of the woods so I don't see much of them. Pretty quiet here so I get a little more done than usual. Two batches of soap are in the molds, lots of laundry is done (no bugs this week, we finally have cooler weather!) and I put in some garden time. My main goal was to clear one of the beds to put in some garlic. I did accomplish that with a little help from my friends - the feathered kinds. There wasn't anyone around to take our picture, but my hens were such enthusiastic helpers that I had to be careful not to step on them as I forked over the bed!
I also got the pie pumpkins and squash out of the garden and into the shelter of the garage. I will be cooking and freezing them over the next month or so.
The Carnival squash look too pretty to eat - each one is a little piece of art.
This big pumpkin is one from the Scout patch It had escaped into the sunflowers but I found it in time for it to be sold.
I will share a picture from the greenhouse. I am really looking forward to having my own fresh lettuce again - pretty soon. Rollie has replaced the hail-damaged roof panels - Thanks Rollie!!!
More of Rollie's work - he has sided the shed where my sister Carolyn's camper and porch used to sit (it was just a roof). At one time I was thinking new goat barn, but better yet, it will be housing some equipment and we can then remodel and enlarge the does area in the corner of the pole barn. That will be very nice.
I hope you all are enjoying autumn - too bad it is such a short season.
Be well friends.
