Fun times at the "farm"



Kade and Reeese had a great day at a friends mini farm. We celebrated Walt's 60th birthday and the boys enjoyed playing with the new chicks there, who are only about 4 weeks old. They will be fine egg producers the Spring.

Well I have no job as the industry has slowed down a bit. So I have been busy canning fruits, stacking firewood and getting ready for winter. It comes as quickly and decisively as summer. One day sunny, the next day rain and rain and rain. Until May of next year. My tomatoes have barely started ripening. The greenhouse will continue (hopefully) to provide winter vegetables such as cabbage, peas and spinach. And hopefully the neighbors won't suspect I am growing anything but legal vege's! I installed 2 grow lights to extend the growing season.

Bennie is getting ready for his trip to Nicaragua. I hope to make a trip to Texas and Tennessee to visit my siblings. My brother is not doing too well. We hope to all spend Thanksgiving together.
