Back Home

And happy to be here.

Lot's of work waiting for me.

It was a very good year.
Every fruit tree is laden.

Canadian Geese never left.
They are gorging themselves on fallen apples and pears. 





Clyde and Lola have decided to get along with the interlopers after all.

Have already filled many shelves in the cellar.

Lakota squash are stored. 

Love them all, flowers and fruit.

Himrod grapes take longer to ripen
Interlaken grapes were harvested before we left for Europe.

A few stragglers left.

I don't think that the little apple tree will make it through the winter.  
We will try and prop it up and see what happens. 
It bears delicious apples.  Don't want to lose it.







Time to admire the evening light and recharge.

Hope you are taking time out to enjoy your surroundings.

Greens for the Chickens and for their Owners

If you want your eggs to 'sit up' like this 

You have to go to your chicken coop and get them

If you want your eggs to be this orange

You have to give your chickens lots of fresh greens every day

My chickens are pampered

I grow lots of fresh greens for them in my garden

This is their favorite green this year - a mild variety of Collards

However, there must always be lots of Greens left for us

Curly Kale

Collards and Turnip Greens

Early Cabbages growing under chicken wire and white gauze to keep the dreaded cabbage worm away.

My Garden must always have 'Zuckerhut'  cabbage,  the perfect cabbage for making Sauerkraut. 

Chickens need Greens and so do the Owners, this time in a Quiche.
