GOODBYE GLADDIE.
You guys. Moving is the worst. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel....we are so close! Wednesday is the big day! Besides the stress and frustration that comes with packing boxes and realizing you have way too much stuff - there are also the goodbyes. We are starting to have to say our goodbyes - to this little town we have grown to love, to dear friends who enriched our lives, to our bountiful garden still full of food, and also to some of our animals. The rabbits have found a home with Jacob and Carolyn, and yesterday, Gladdie went to another farm family who required her mousing services. We let her spend the day outside, stalking chickens and having adventures. It was hard to say goodbye (I am an unapologetic crazy cat lady) but I know she will be loved. Thank you, Gladdie - for ridding our house of mice, for being an excellent alarm clock each morning, and warming my lap every day. We'll miss you!- Hannah. 
UPDATES: THE FALL SHARE & THE CAT.
Sorry for the lack of farm or garden related updates lately....but that is pretty much how it goes around here. Aside from being in limbo - this time of year simply doesn't require as much work up in the field. So, you will just have to make do with an update on the Gladdie cattie. She is still a tiny, sickly thing, but it has all been worth it because she has turned out to be an excellent mouser.
Speaking of the neglected garden, our very last main-season CSA delivery is this week! Hard to believe it has been 15 weeks already! We still have garden full of food...but as much as we would love to announce our FALL SHARE, we just don't feel confident enough in our situation. It is still unclear when we will have to be gone from our house/garden, so until we do know for sure - we are going to be selling food week-to-week. If you think you will be interested in getting a CSA basket of food in the near future and live in the Versailles/Danville/Lexington-ish area, make sure you are part of the mailing list! (You can sign up using the link at the bottom of this post or email us at roughdraftfarmstead@gmail.com) We will send out a message each week with the harvest and deliver on a first-come-first-serve basis. It is not ideal, but we are hoping this allows us to continue to feed our friends and family and make the most out of our beloved garden.- Hannah.
THE BLOG LOOKS WEIRD, AND OTHER NEWS.
Ya'll. I have no idea why the blog looks so strange. For some reason, all of the crazy coding and html and nonsense that I spent so long trying to understand has just disappeared....so the blog became a complete jumble of words and posts and tabs. I was able to fix some of it, and will try to work on it soon....but we have been in the library for 3 hours now and mostly I just want to cry.ANYway. Surprise! We have a new addition to Rough Draft! This one was a necessity, however, as the mice situation inside of our house has been out of control lately. Meet Gladdie...our slightly cross-eyed, wheezing, snaggletoothed, and possibly blind kitten. Yeah, we know how to pick 'em.- Hannah.
