It has been a while since I sat down to really blog about anything, and due to an after-lunch lull here I sit. Much is happening and has happened. Today, on the farm, we are quite concerned with the fact that it is going to frost tonight! Because we planted late we are just starting to really harvest our garden. We have canned quite a few green beans but the tomatoes have just started ripening in abundance. Eeks! Much to do and so little time! We are going to cover our giant garden in tarps and sheets before the sun goes down this evening.
Fall has quite clearly arrived! We are supposed to have a high of 54 degrees for the next two days, and then we will have warmer weather again, 60's and 70's.... until it gets cold again. It can't make up it's mind.
I peeked out of a window this morning and noticed a big tree that turned yellow almost overnight! The soybeans are also turning a beautiful golden color.
Yesterday we bought 6 chickens. They aren't fully grown yet and Patrick and Janelle frequently come inside and comment on how cute they are! It will be very nice to have our own fresh eggs!
Starting Monday we are going to be going 100 miles an hour! Silage time! ....there will be big Case IH tractors all over the place and silage wagons. We will be harvesting the corn once again.
