Hungry Birds & Hungry People

The march of the seasons continues on as the little sparrows and hummingbirds begin to migrate south and the plants hurry to set seed.

My migrant farm laborers, aka my parents, have arrived to finish up some summer projects and escape the smoke-filled air of California and their arrival meant their new travel trailer was delivered! It won't be traveling anymore as we don't have a big enough vehicle to pull it, but it was always meant to be their home away from home that is much nicer than a small space in my attic. Now my early wake up calls in summer won't inhibit their beauty sleep and my space will be once again all mine!

Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised last week to find that the ground squirrel didn't eat as many of the golden beets as I thought, so there should be a few bunches for market. They aren't available online yet as I was too slow getting them all uploaded and squared away.

The view from the new trailer means my migrant laborer parents can watch me work while they eat breakfast, they can keep their living space the temperature they like, and I can leave my cabin as messy as I please! A win-win!

The fall colors continue in the bouquets!
​Fall also means the season of dried flower wreaths has begun! Expect to see new ones each week!

The squash shows the signs of the frosts that have begun and burn the leaves that touch the protective frost fabric, sacrificing themselves to save the rest of the plant!

The first Farm Tour & Field Dinner was amazing! So many thanks to all the wonderful guests and Mandy from the Gracious Table for such yummy food! If you missed this time, don't despair as there will be more opportunities next summer.
