The crunch is on for the fall and winter preparations to begin. So far we have missed the couple of light frosts that the lower valleys have had already. Our basil however is being all picked today! We have been enjoying the late raspberries too – they are the best! Lots of tomatoes are still waiting to be made into sauce this week too. Luckily between our Tuesday and Thursday delivery weeks, we have a little extra time to focus on farm and garden tasks. So since we’ve had all kinds of time, we decided it was time to finally get that rescue dog we have been talking about so we spend time in training! Lucy, Lucille, Lacy, we are still trying out names for her; she’s a sweet “follow you everywhere” German Shepard with a little something else that makes her tail really long and her legs very prettily shaded. She has black stripes on the top of each toe!

There has been a little growling with Shadow and Maggie, mostly about food, but we think she is adapting quickly and will be a great pal on herd checks through the pastures.

I’ll make it short this month since there are other announcements to follow.

Please take care, enjoy this lovely weather and fall colors and as always, come and visit!
Nancy and Alan
