September 2023

September is a month of changes here. Heat giving way to milder weather. Garden wrapping up. Chores changing with the seasons. We all agree the variety of seasonal work keeps things fresh and interesting. This month we picked a ton of raspberries, hatched some incubated chicks, sent our dairy cow to be bred, had a birthday party, Paige got braces, and a new puppy showed up on our doorstep.

The debate is whether his name will be Murray or Machen. Sadly, dogs get frequently dumped in rural places.
