Temperatures dropped 45 degrees overnight and it has begun to rain. So whether we're ready or not, it seems summer is over and harvesting is here.
The green beans grew up corn stalks; we have huge pumpkins and winter squash; our apple tree is heavy with fruit; our cherry tomatoes spilled out all over the garden. 
So in spite of our chickens helping themselves to many ears of corn before we could get a taste, it was a very successful and fun planting year.
Lucky for Pace, the mint, which is his and the chicken's favorite thing to feast on in the garden, will overwinter. Story time in the garden, however, may have to wait till Spring.
Hoping the hens will soon start laying eggs, Pace decided introducing them to Tillie in "Tillie Lays an Egg" would be the perfect way to prepare them.
And the biggest shock to our family....
ANDY IS 30!
Hi Kira,
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a comment yesterday and thought I made it but it has disappeared...
I was so glad to read your news and see your great pictures. I go often on your blog to check on new entries so thanks for the new one. It's good to hear your happiness. I just miss not seeing pics of you :-)
Wish I could be with you to enjoy a meal with some products of your garden (I'm a pumpkin lover!!!).
Happy big birthday to Andy.
Hope we'll be able to see each other one of these days...
Gros bisous à toi, Andy, tes enfants et tes parents,
Anne
