falling...






The season has arrived, we have proof! Beautiful colors this year. The garden is mostly closed up. Still need to plant garlic at the end of the month and dig under the winter rye. The garden was much more productive this year than last. Lots of eating from the garden. Lots of meals composed mostly of food from the garden.
Keenan is in his first year of "preschool". He is spending the day on monday and tuesday at Orchard Valley Waldorf school. He is really into it so far. The other day a kindergartener said "I'm in kindergarten", to which he apparently replied, "Well I'm in preschool." The school is located on a gentle hillside that was an orchard/farm six years ago. It is a beautiful setting. Last weekend we went for a festival, gathered apples and made juice in a cider press. Fun. There was a play with a giant dragon.
Lots of bike riding and walking lately. Also playing bat. (whiffle ball) Eating cold weather foods and enjoying woodstove action.
