The past few weeks have been a rush to get everything before true winter sets in....
Now it begins!
Each of the below chores have a multitude of sub-chores attached to them. I've listed a few.
I've been caring for the bees
-feeding sugar water
-Combining weak hives
-Making winter "sugar boards"
-Insulating hive tops
-Stacking the unused boxes and frames and mothballing them
Trying to get the high tunnels put to bed
-Pulling out the dead plants
-Pulling and freezing or processing the last of the produce

| This was some of the last of the raspberries I picked last week! |
-Fertilizing and mulching the fruit trees
Winterizing the animal pens.
-Dumping loads of mulch in the wet, muddy spots.
-Cleaning out the damp corners and liming the interior
-Airing and drying everything out
-And more, more, more!
Putting an awning over the barn's sliding door.
-Digging the post holes
-Picking up the necessary supplies
-Building the awning
-Putting stones under the door's sliding area
Plus the sugar house work, general clean up, weeding, and mulching, around the place in an attempt to tidy up!
There are a few more nice days in the forecast. Cross your fingers that I'll be able to pick off more chores on my long, long list!
