I’m happy to be spending some time on the computer this morning working on recipes and the newsletter. Snow is blowing around outside and it feels like we’re in our winter season. I have to keep an eye on the weather for these lasts fall harvests to know when I have my above freezing window to harvest greens in the field. I was lucky this week to get things harvested in the intermittent sunshine on Sunday afternoon and pack up all the items on Monday. The below average temperatures make the harvest windows smaller, but I was still able to get it done within a decent timeframe and without too much discomfort on the hands.
My new automatic waterer on the farm
I’m so thankful that I have an automatic waterer for all the critters this winter. That means no more carrying 6 or more 5 gallon buckets of water from the house, across the ice, and to the animals everyday. It’s those kind of improvements that take a while to happen that make you appreciate them even more!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering and enjoyed the many flavors of the season. It’s food, family, and friends that truly make the holidays so special for me.
