In Balance With Nature....

Been a while.....

Well, Its almost the end of October and its been a while since we wrote. Its starting to get cold at night so we have been busy getting the garden ready for winter. We are building a homemade green house out of things we found around Mom G's house. We have the frame built out of re bar we found and tied it together with zip ties. It is about 25 ft long and 15 ft wide. We still need to get the plastic on it but we are almost done and we will hopefully have a quaint little green house for the winter.
Adams birthday was last Tuesday the 14th and we spent the day together going to his favorite restaurants for lunch and dinner and we took a hay ride and picked pumpkins from a pumpkin patch at a big farm here locally. He was a happy boy....

He got a dehydrator from his parents so we have been drying all our herbs from the garden and made our own hot Sage tea tonight...yummy!

We are getting ready to pick crab apples from the 5 big trees my mom has and dry them for crab apple tea, and jelly and canned candied crab apples.
We will post the final pictures of the green house when it is finished, hopefully this weekend if the rain holds off for a bit.

Its time for bed, the little ones told us to get off the computer and tuck them in. Izzy's pooped, she had a long tough day at work we assume.

Goodnight...
