When I came home from work yesterday, I saw my sisters in the garden. Picking, picking, picking and covering for the impending frost.
We still have goodies every where and it seems too early but it is October. That flame-broiled summer we had left us wanting more beautiful days with shorter nights.
Our late garden has been wonderful, full of green beans, peppers, radishes, okra, greens and tomatoes. Our snow peas are blooming. We can hope the cover saved them from the frost and we will soon have fresh snow peas.
The Gelbvieh bull Dennis donated to the athletic department left the farm today. Selling chances on him raised over a thousand dollars for new sports equipment or for what ever the department needs. Now, if I can just get a receipt from the school, that would be a nice tax deduction.
This week at work has been one for the books! My boss called me personally to chew me about something. Contradictions have been floating in emails...do this, no say that...and then denial of the first set of instructions. I have documented each phone call and each email...CYA! It's not just me, no, I am not alone with this...we are all affected, one way or the other...just makes for a good week. Today is the first day of the new week, so I am hoping things will improve.
I have an extra foot ball player this weekend, a friend of Andrew's and Jake will be here later to spend the day. I am not sure what Papa and all the boys will do while I HAVE TO WORK but I am sure they will have fun.
Off to the salt mines!
