WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

We have been busy, but not necessarily with the garden, but in particular the farm, our home, and our families. 

Yes, we do keep pecking away at season end to do lists, such as spreading that nice decomposed fertilizer from our fertilizer team, cleaning and packing away tools, cleaning out fields, final harvest of dried beans, CSA membership details, covering garlic, covering carrots for in ground storage, all this as time permits.

Our most pressing task on our list, at this time, continues to be finalizing the details for the 2011 CSA memberships.  We did update the Local Harvest website today and we apologize to our potential members for not having this done in October as we had anticipated.  We will do an email mailing this week with details.  Watch your inbox!

We managed to get some wood cut for our wood furnace in our 115-year-old house.  We had help too.  That pesky fertizlier team are like a bunch of kids in their curiosity.  Amber tried to keep them in line, but she failed miserably. 



Over the weekend I was, again, amazed at the tenacity of a lone violet.  November 7th and one, tiny bloom buried in the brown of the fall leaves.  Hmmmm, is there a lesson here? 

Hope all is well in everyone's world and we would like to mention how with deep regret we watched my daughter, Tona, and son-in-law Alberto, and our three granddaughter's - Isabella, Amaya, and Noelia bury their father and grandfather this past week.  Doug was 55 and lost a battle with cancer, at Tona and Alberto's home, with his family around him.  He is missed.
