Closing up shop

Today was a truly beautiful day. We have been blessed with an unusally dry, mild, and long fall up here. And after our rainy, wet, cool, non-summer, it has been a welcome stretch of weather. Today it had to be in the 50s with sun and no wind. As long as we kept moving (and stayed in the sun) we could wear short sleeves this afternoon. It's the little things that keep you going . . .

But we got a lot done around here today.

We broke down the "washroom". Now the tubs are resting safely in our barn.

Took the irrigation system down.

And stored the pipes in the hoophouse for the winter.

Pulled up a lot of remay.

And here is Susannah with some of the last turnips of the year.
