The temperatures are cooling off after our mini-heat wave last week. They say that snow is on the way by the weekend. That’s OK. It’s like the ol’ “kick in the pants.” Although no one has accused us of slacking off this fall, this week we’re cranking it up into high gear and getting everything we can done outdoors before Friday. That means firewood, tree guards, compost making and garden clean-up. Divide and conquer! Cammy has been clearing out weeds and old plants in the main garden and spreading new compost over the beds. They’ll be ready for planting come spring. Skylar and I are doing the full-court-sprint on bringing in the last of the firewood.
