October
Fall is finally being felt here - leaves have
started to fall, and we cut down the tomatoes and tomatillos in the garden. The
peppers and maybe even the potatoes should grow for another few weeks till frost
hits. I threw together a wreath after school today while E was cutting back some
bittersweet vines (the chicken run is covered in oriental bittersweet with some
orange trumpet vine thrown in for good
measure).
And, yes, I'm already spending way too much time plotting and planning about a new house - this one is a 1940's bungalow. While not next to a state park, this cupcake is in a great neighborhood, and close to the reservoir, which makes up for its size (tiny house!) and the limitations on about half of the land - preserved wetland, There's still clear acreage to grow the veggies on, and room for smallish pens for both the goats and chooks. Maybe growing mushrooms on the back 2 acres (shitake and oyster), inspired by the STLF , could bring in some income? The bees would be content to be nestled in along the tree line too, and I think we should be able to harvest dead and fallen wood to burn. There's another offer we're competing against - we even offered 3K MORE then the asking price. We'll see what happens.
