Goings On at the Homestead

There is something about Fall that gets my domestic juices flowing.  I know the official start isn't until Wednesday, but there has definitely been a change in the air, the light, the smells..

I have been busy painting the coop, creating an opening in the pen, gleaning the garden and replanting lettuce and spinach-I am going to try to grow under mini hoops as long as I can into the winter-we also froze several bags of carrots,  the rest I am going to keep in the ground till frost to sweeten them.  We've been getting three to four eggs a day:  brown,  brown speckled, white and blue-green. Apples are rosy-checked and ruddy complected.  It is a fine time of the year.
