Cleaning out the Greenhouse

It's been a rather blustery, and rainy Autumn day! With the cold weather approaching we decided that today would be a good day to pick the rest of the produce in the green house. We still had crates and crates of tomatoes to bring inside to finish ripening.

Lily was more than happy to get right in there and help pick, place in crates, and open doors while we hauled them inside.


She also did a great job picking these cherry tomatoes all on her own! We ended up bringing in almost 300lbs of tomatoes!

When the sun finally came out this afternoon, I had to get outside and enjoy it. My walk brought me to the compost pile to dump tomato stems and peels and then back to the coop to hunt for eggs. I forgot the egg basket, so I stuffed them in my sweater pocket before heading back to the house. The wind teased my hair as I admired the yellow leaves and the grass swaying in the field. What a beautiful day it had turned out to be!

After school we headed to town to catch Joe's volleyball game! So far they've had an undefeated season. Watching triple ball is much different than volleyball, but it's teaching them good skills!

Most of the kids met me at the school instead of taking the bus home. When he was finished, we all loaded up and headed home for a quick dinner!
