Wow, what an eventful summer we've had! If you would have told me in the spring that it would be so busy, I would have doubted. It's funny how, even though you don't have much planned, life tosses things at you from all angles!
Since spring, we have raised more chickens,
Gideon the goose,
and more...and more...and more rabbits -- and we should have 3 pregnant does right now!
We still have the dogs, the cat, and we adopted kittens from the neighbors and placed them in new homes.
The garden we planted in spring has been a great experience, and we just pulled in 120 pounds of fresh veggies this past week! The corn is still growing, as well as some zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes, and I'm sure a few other things, so we're not finished. Not only that, but there is just an excitement and a lot of gratitude that comes with the harvest -- a joy that some people will never experience, but one that is older than all of us. I should read up on how generations past celebrated harvest. Maybe a unit study for the kids... :)
Wishing you all Fall blessings from the farm... Now we have to get ready to go pick apples! :)
