Fallish temps

Last week before school starts. The greenhouse is almost recovered, and the two smaller greenhouses are ready for new planting, kitchen herbs. Then we will prepare the new garden spot for cut flowers and herbs, for next spring. Having spots ready to go, helps with our shorter growing season.

Sad day on the farm, our sheep helper, Jack, a sweet rescued mutt died this week. We put him down because he has been in a cast for 4 weeks with a spiral fracture. One night he chewed through his cast and rebroke his leg. The sharp bone had broken through the skin and he was in so much pain. Putting him down was the most humane and difficult thing to do. We miss him.

I can feel fall in the air, there is a zippy cold in the air and the leaves are beginning to change. Just cool enough to remind us about how much still needs to be done in the short time before the snow falls.

I love fall, it is my favorite time of the year. Perfect temperatures and our annual Harvest Party. If you are interested in coming, we are adding a haunted forest this year for the youngest children. It will be fun scary and will include a visit to the fairie's graveyard!
