It's That Time of Year!

November 1st is right around the corner and the Fall projects are getting done in 50-60 degree days ...

• the boats have been dragged up on the shore and the kayaks rehung in the porch
• the chimney, Glenwood cook stove and pipe have been thouroughly cleaned (soot up to the  elbows)
• leaves mowed multiple times and spread on the flower gardens
• veggie gardens composted and winter Rye planted
• firewood box is full with smaller wood for "taking the chill off" as the temps drop
• girls are wearing bells and orange vests as they explore their woods!

"Don't take the leaves away yet!"
