Posts are certainly sporadic, although I have much I want to write about. We finally had our first fire in the wood stove Friday morning. It should have been Thursday morning, but things happened to prevent it. We had to move all those pumpkins, plus a whole lot more that can be seen in the picture a few posts below.
I did do a pre-season chimney sweep. I used to have to climb all the way in the chimney to do this, but last year or so, one of my sons bought a chimney brush that connects to a hand drill; and while I still get pretty dirty, I don't have to do body contortions to get the chimney clean.
I love getting that fire going in the wood stove early in the morning when the house is in the fifties and then putting the coffee on - I am glad fall has finally arrived (although it was in the 80's today.) and we had no fire this morning.
Pigs are still doing well.
The first frost has left some of my pumpkins not yet ripe. Some will ripen off the vine if they are well along in color. Others will not. I had about 30 or so pumpkins not yet picked or fully ripe when we got the first frost on Thursday morning.
Oremus pro invicem!
