At least it is halfway over, though. And it's not that I dislike Spud Harvest, it is just that the college doesn't conveniently also take a break. So I'm still dashing off to teach MWF while the kids are left to their own nefarious devices. Just kidding. Usually Omi requires their help with something . . . or I get a babysitter. And it has been fun to do some harvesting of our own. Omi and I have made quarts and quarts of applesauce and tomato sacue; the kids have sliced cucumbers for pickles; the onions have all been pulled up and nylonified; and just today Omi made lots and lots of pumpin for pies. Delicious!
Devan has been outside all day today working on the fence. It looks great, and it will be so nice to have an enclosed place for kids and dog to play. Opa has been diligently working on the goat building. Next spring the men will pull up the patio, which will then be embiggened and relaid; the shop will be planned and built; and the greenhouse will be fully operational. We expect many great things, don't we. But bit by bit some things are coming together.
