The weather is turning colder

We've been having rain and wind the past few days.  It's really Autumn now.  I took Cricket for a long walk this morning, and we really needed to wear a coat.  That's a change for sure.

Our garden is done and looking rather sad.  We talked about turning it under... but with the rain and wind that's not happening now.  Too wet.



I'll have to bring my plants in for the winter soon.

Josh has been grouting the tile in his new bedroom and the mud room.  Then he and John will get the molding up.  And the freezer needs to be moved into the mudroom... set up the shelves... get it ready for winter.

We'll need to get some wood cut and stacked too.  We have our propane tanks full already and have "pre-bought" for the coming year.  That's a load off my mind.

We have our bulk food purchases all sealed in jars, stored in the "root cellar".  That feels good too.

Our friend with sheep a few ridges over gave me a few fleeces last week.  I really appreciate that!  Her fleeces are so nice.  She's so generous.  Thanks, Sue!

We're hoping to go to Parker Homestead this weekend.  We always have fun there.
