We finally found someone to shear our sheep. We'd placed an ad and had several reponses, but people tend to get busy, time slips by, and before you know it the sheep are sporting dreadlocks. (And not the nice ones like Erica's!)

The days are getting shorter. So much in fact that we had to carve our annual Halloween pumpkins by lamplight at 3:00 in the afternoon! Overcast conditions coupled with Standard Daylight Time makes for some early evenings.
The kids and...

You cannot keep me down. To keep me down -- you'd have to convince me no one cared. And I can clearly see that is not the case -- that more people every day care -- and they seek us out. And to believe the world is a terrible place: One reacts to that in a...

The frost has hit and the squash is done. Sadness creeps into the picture as one looks around at the dying plants. The sqash was commanding the garden mere days ago, but its leaves are now turning a sickly dark color. The frost sneaks in...
