John and Chuck built a new grape arbor! Next summer we look forward to a table and chairs under the arbor, and the grapes will have something to grow on other than the fence and anything else they can find to grab on to.
Mama Duck and her almost grown baby girls. A real feat to raise a family with a new bob cat and a coyote pack in the neighborhood. We are missing out grey cat for the past three days and wonder if she was dinner for someone. The mice, voles and chipmunks will not mourn her passing, but we do.
winter kale and winter beets...second planting
The garden is still giving us lots of things to eat.
The barn is finally restored. It took three years and lots of help from local craftsmen plus John and Chuck.
Nathan came and painted the high parts and put on a new
copula!
We have a few grapes, although most of them got the dreaded black spot and had to be destroyed. I am only planted old Concord from now on. It has been a good year for the garden. I am leaving it in good hands as I get ready to go to Ireland tomorrow.
