This week we are busy getting farm chores done. While it is hard to think about winter when it is 88-degrees, we know it is coming and we have to be ready.

| Thoreau was right; wood does warm one twice! |
|
 |
| Don't let the sky fool you; it was blistering hot! |

| Twilight walk. I love the evening light more than sunrise. |

| Uh-ho....too early to see this! |

In addition to all the farm work, I am putting by garden goodies. My Grandmother's four gallon crock is full of cukes soaking in brine for icicle pickles. They are my favorite. Mister doesn't care for pickles, so the 14 pints will be Just Enough. Squash has been frozen and tomatoes are coming on in a week or so! Can't wait!
What have you been into this week? How do you prepare for winter?
