Drama in the autumn.
Delta was 20 minutes.
Move that wood

The reason we don’t burn fires in the kitchen unless it is under 40 is because it takes so much work to move the wood around. First you saw it up. Then you move the bog logs. Then you season it. Then you split it. Then you stack it. Then it moves from the res she to the porch. Finally it ends up in the kitchen on fire.
There are several cords in the red shed in a double stack up to the ceiling. Time for winter.
Fall prep for winter (swingset down)

The beautiful Fall weather had us prepping for winter on the little pretend farm.
Garden weeding and tilling
Solstice fire re-core (we cancelled the summer solstice fire this year and are going to light up in the winter…but a winter core needed to be inserted so the fire burns hotter and longer).
Finally, the ancient and somewhat dangerous swing set was deleted.
This tree frog was supervising.

I mean the poor innocent groundhog was only sunning himself BY THE GARDEN. Good dog.
All groundhogs must die.

Batch 4 (or so) of the year. The tomatillas had very good production.
Who knows, we may squeeze out another batch before the garden winters.

Fresh peppers in late September. Peppers? Peppers!!
Did you see the September summer squash? A volunteer!
With an unwelcome visitor.
Two tiny carrots.
And the only Brussels sprouts that survived the flea beetles (no pesticide).
A reminder why growing a garden is a great idea.
