BELATED.
This is belated, but I wanted to say happy birthday to this guy. His birthday was on Sunday, and here's how he spent the day: chasing Trousers around the yard with a stick each time he escaped from his paddock, hauling over 1000 pounds of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes upstairs to our loft in the cabin, chopping firewood and kindling in the rain, moving the turkeys into a new part of the garden, and harvesting sweet peppers and spaghetti squash. Happy birthday indeed! Jesse is the hardest working person I know - this is a pretty typical day around the farm. I am constantly amazed at how he provides for our little family and couldn't be prouder to know him and work alongside him every day. Happy birthday Jesse! I love you and here's to the next year - I think it's going to be a good one.- Hannah.
FALLING.
And suddenly, it's fall! We were harvesting beautiful tomatoes, peppers, and summer squash yesterday, and tonight it is going to be 37 degrees. Might get our first frost!We have a garden full of winter squash - butternuts, acorn, sweet dumpling, pumpkins, spaghetti - and our greenhouse is FULL of sweet potatoes curing. I love the colorful bounty of summertime, but there is nothing like the feeling of having a winter's worth of storage crops laid by. As the season winds down, we are slowly preparing to head into hibernation and wait for this little bub to be born.What are your favorite parts of fall?- Hannah.
