Hello Everyone,
Fall has certainly let it's entrance be known. The rain is
blowing sideways, horses are in their shelters and pleading
not to be let out, Border Collie Maggie is hunkered down on
the porch, and Arianne and I worked outside in full
raingear, boots and rubber gloves with water running off us
in rivers all day today. Little girls stayed home with their
Papa except for one trip across the farm to help clean
stalls. Nola donned her new boots and marched straight for
the largest puddle waded out to her thighs, then raced out
and jumped laughing at the water squirting out of the top of
the new boots. Boots mean different things to different
ages!!!
We save greenhouse work for when we are getting cold, we
call it the farmer's Bahamas. It always amazes me that even
on a stormy day it can be 85 degrees in the greenhouses.
Things are slowing down as the light wanes, but we still
hope to have a good selection of produce through the winter.
For you horsey types don't forget the mounted Halloween
party this Sunday starting at 1:00. Call for directions if
you are planning to come. So far we have one pony who will
be a ballerina, a Pipi Longstockings and a horse disguised
as a spotted owl - who would ever guess. Will have the party
in the covered riding arena so come rain or shine. Please
RSVP. thanks
Thanks for your business.
