October already, and we are experiencing what I would call "Peak Foliage" September was beautiful and warm, and the color this year has been the best in years. Our sheep are plump, and one of the three pigs is already in our freezer.
The garden was bountiful this year, which should help our grocery bill. Loralee has managed to put up quite a bit of vegetables, the list looks something like this:
- 3 bushels of potatoes.
- 1 bushel of onions
- 25 quarts of corn
- 20 quarts of green beans, frozen
- 6 quarts 'dilly beans'
- 6 quarts canned beets
- 10 quarts frozen beets
- 5 quarts frozen carrots
- 12 quarts tomato sauce
... As well as many, many quarts of frozen fruit. I know I've missed quite a bit, as she's made jellies, salsa (3 kinds), and more. We will eat well this winter!
