Mahnin'All: Fall is certainly here! Leaves are turning quickly, days are cooler & nights are chilly. We had a killing frost on Thursday night, so growing season is over.
Went down to Cooper's yesterday & got our Apples; Half a bushel each of Mac's & Cortland's. Marsha is going to make an apple crisp today and we'll be doing up pies and apple sauce this coming week. We also stocked up our winter supply of good, farm butter and picked up some locally grown pears, too. Time for making baked beans, but they didn't have any Jacob's Cattle Beans this year. I'll have to hunt around some of the other farm stands & co-op's to find some. They are one of the oldest bean varieties and that's all I use for my baked beans. I'll find some somewhere.
Other than that, just cleaning up the garden plot, putting out door stuff away & getting things ready for winter. Going to get up to the mid 60's today so going to give the north 40 it's last mowing (mainly to use up the gas I've got left) before putting the lawn tractor away. Will take off the screen doors & put the storms on this coming week, too.
Speaking of storms, we've heard from family & friends down in Florida and thankfully all are okay. Going to take many years for the state to recover from Ian!
