Fall Chores & a Beautiful Autumn Walk!

Fall is here and we are keeping busy preparing for the winter months. I feel like there is a lot to do!  

Here is what we are doing in the greenhouse:

Granddaughter helped me spray paint some milk jugs and fill them with water for solar heating.   We finished 4 but I would like to do a lot more. People need to drink more milk around here!

We will see how much this helps...  I've done this before but not to the extend I want to do it this time.

I picked lettuce for the week out of the green stalks.  After watching a video a light bulb went off and I realized my green stalks were too close to the greenhouse door -so basically when you open the door you would be immediately giving them a blast of cold air.  So I rearranged everything and moved them a little further away from the door, more in the middle of the row.

In the garden:  I hope to plant the garlic and tulips this week.  I will also be pulling up the tomato cages after the frost we are expecting.  It's easier when the tomato foliage is dead to get the cages out of the soil.

I feel like I'm running out of time before the snow falls so I'm going to get busy!  

It gets dark at night so early now so I've been back to crocheting or sewing.  I'm crocheting a hat and scarf for donation and last night I completed the scarf.

On one of the warmer days this past week we went for a our local nature preserve.   We saw a couple of turkeys, ducks, and lots of squirrels.  It was a beautiful Autumn walk through the fallen leaves. Thank goodness they have lots of benches because I used every single one we came across!   

Today they are calling for an all day rain so we are planning on walking at a church that has a indoor track (they have benches too).  There is a way!

Besides great how to You tube videos I've become addicted to the stories that are told.  This week my favorite story has been: 

His Own Children Had No Room for Him — So He Knocked on His Daughter in Law's Door!

I was also sent a book from Leslie Gould to review!  Just the cover alone makes me want to dive right in!  

A Second Chance to Remember (Letters from Lancaster County): A Sweet Amish Second-Chance Contemporary Romance Set in Lancaster County

Hope everything is going well at your house.  Have a great day!
