Old stuff!

Found this video! And one more, but I'm going to save it for when we have lull in posts.

More Pictures From Harvest Fest

Harvest Fest was last weekend, which already seems like forever ago. But here are some pictures of what we did that day. I made four apple pies, which were a lot of work but tasted amazing (and disappeared fast!).


We harvested potatoes, squash, a few tomatoes, and a miscellany (kale, kohlrabi, peppers) that grew among the summer's weeds. Some of us also built a new three-bin compost system to replace our old (highly technical) "pile of junk" system. Here we are in the garden:

And here are some of the fruits of our labors. Plenty of potatoes!



Windy afternoon

It's dry, hot and very windy- there's a burn ban in effect this weekend for Rice County. The weather report says we might get thunderstorms tomorrow.
