A chill in the air

Posted by Sharon

Fall is creeping in, with its chilly foggy mornings and falling leaves. It’s new year’s day today, by the Hebrew calendar, and the weather here on the farm is absolutely ideal for my liking.  Bright and sunny, but not too hot to work outside digging in the dirt. As a matter of fact, I just finished trimming and mulching the apple trees.

The pits of those “peaches” that I tried last month really did contain something that looked like an immature almond, but as it looked immature I wasn’t going to try eating it.  Maybe next year.

The sheep are doing well, grazing happily. I’ll be selling undyed wool yarn spun from our California Red sheep, and buttons that I carved from Boer goat horn, at the Bluemont Fair tomorrow. If you’re in the area, come on by!
