Is that snow?!?

It is! the first snow is here! It won't last but it is a promising beginning. It also helps spur me to get the beds mowed and tarped, field equipment cleaned and put away, and the chicken huts electrified before more comes.
There is still some dead tomato vines to take down (great for a cold rainy day), tools to be oiled and organized so they are ready to go next season, and kittens to teach the house rules to.
But now there is time to sleep in and still be up before the sun, to read some books or catch up on movies, and to cook something more than frozen meals. I can catch up on hose projects like more painting and going through all the stuff that I don't need.
There are still the microgreens to seed, water, and harvest as well as bins upon bins of seeds saved from this season to thresh and prep for planting or sale (and the accompanying computer work to design the packets and update the website!)
But, thankfully, the overall pace is slowed and now it is time to recover, regroup, and plan for the winter.

The first snow! Can you tell I'm excited? After a few disappointing winters I for one am looking forward to lots of snow and cold and, well, winter
Picture
One major fall task is to store everything for winter. Hoses, sprinklers, weed cloth, frost fabric, insect netting, fabric supports, seed flats, shade cloth, tools, carts, equipment, low tunnel plastic, and so much more. The shed and the carport make it so much easier!

The occasional giant flock of Starlings moves through and they try to join the chickens in their daily forage

Just before the first snow arrived I finally mowed down the spent crops of veggies and flowers. The annual beds will get covered with tarps to help give all the lovely soil microbes and worms a safe space to break it all down over winter.

When they are in their cat office the kittens have discovered they can spy on me and Hella through the handy dandy ceiling grate! Someone is always watching lol
It's a good thing log cabins have deep window sills so all the kittens can watch the Starlings and the Deer at the same time. They only get grumpy when I disturb them and get their hopes up for more treats!
Picture
If only I could teach the cats to feed the woodstove, do the dishes, and vacuum the stairs, but I'm no disney character even if they help fill my life with tiny moments of drama
