Hi friends!

As the pendulum swings from summer to fall I feel torn.....

Do you feel the pull between long summer days full of sunshine, exhaustion and fun to the slower cooler days of fall?

I know I certainly do! Trying to fit in those summer activities, enjoy the dwindling bright sun, harvesting and preserving all the crops is a tough job both mentally and physically. I'm also looking forward to a routine (well as close as it as I can), slowing down just a bit, homeschooling the kids and chilling out.

Literally, because baby it gets cold outside. We can have some really tough winters here in Northern Michigan. Last year we were completely spoiled as it was very mild. Even on Christmas we were outside completing what typically happens in fall (We raked leaves and placed them in the bare garden) Take a look at this video from the holidays last year. What is your prediction for this winter? I'm afraid it might come back with a vengeance.

​

We are busying squirreling away the harvest, which is going better than I expected about a month ago and I'm VERY thankful for that. Most of our food comes from the land and our hard work so we are always glad when we get enough and then some.
