Just for the record, we did have snow flurries yesterday (Friday, October 9) and today. Thursday night brought a killing frost to the area, so the growing season is officially over. Brrrr it's cold!
Eric, Angelina and Greg did a bit of outside work to clean up and prepare for winter. Angelina and her dad harvested the carrots and Angelina prepped the onions (which have been drying in the garage for the last couple weeks) for storage. Dash and his dad cleared the well frozen and dead zucchini, tomato, and pepper plants from the garden. Eric put away all the garden hoses, summer equipment, and patio furniture. The summer shoes and rubber boots are stored and have been replaced with warmer winter boots to keep those toes warm in the frosty weather. The Carhart jackets and overalls are definitely out and in use!! After lunch, the two oldest will help their dad move rabbit cages to the barn for the winter. And, all the sand box toys will be stored, too.
Instead of changing colors, the leaves are just falling from the trees. Guess we missed fall color on the farm.
Isn't it sad that the leaves are just falling before changing color? That's happening here, too. What a weird fall! A weird year for weather in general. Sigh. =(
