This week has been very busy off the farm! Missus has been teaching 4H classes and we have been sorting out many other things, but the big event this week was the arrival of a new grandchild! Forgive me for not giving further details, but I do want to say what is going on, and that everything is great!
We seem to be deeper into the autumn weather now. The rain fell the night before last, and the wind has kicked up since. It is chilly for sure! There is snow on the tops of the mountains around us and the clouds have not cleared yet.
I’d like to say I have finished the woodshed now, but this week has been so busy that I have not touched it. I got the roof on the little shed out back when I found some steel lying about behind the barn. You can just about see it in the photo below.
It is coming into mid-afternoon, and I can smell the winter soup I started this morning. It is in a crockpot on the kitchen island and will be ready for supper tonight. The change in weather is what inspired it! Honestly, I would have loved to put it to stew and into a pie.
The weather is set to remain cool. I think we will see the need for closed windows, firewood, and lots of hot drinks now. I’d like to have a lot more done outside and will work on it all, starting on the woodshed. I need to get that woodpile covered!
