Adam was home for the weekend!

Adam came home for the weekend to see us and take a break from his busy school/work schedule. He is doing well and working very hard. Him and I took the boat and headed to the coast on Saturday. It was rainy and windy and we had a GREAT time! We got wet, we got water in the boat, we ventured out close to the jetties (which were closed to small boats) and rode the swells back into the bay. We talked about school, we talked about the economy, the elections and life in general. What a fun day we had. Below is Adam with a couple of the crabs we caught!



We cleaned up most of the garden on Sunday. We picked the last of the tomatoes and bell peppers. I also found some carrots that I had forgotten about. We turned the chickens out to help clean things up. In the afternoon I heard some squawking up on the knoll. It didn't sound like a chicken but it looks like only 9 hens made it back in the coop at the end of the day, so I am thinking that a coyote or some other critter had a chicken dinner last night. Jon cleaned out the rain catch system for the animals and we turned off the irrigation line so it will not freeze. I need to trim a few more fruit trees and clean the rain gutters and I think we are ready for the cold!

Cody was a big help also. He trimmed some maple trees and raked leaves. He and his friend down the street disappeared later in the afternoon with a wagon full of stuff they had put together. They went up on the knoll, built a campfire and made a pot of hot water and had some tea. They stayed up there until well after dark.

Lorelei is trying to use up the apples before they go bad. We had a great yield this year. She made us an awesome apple crisp yesterday. Last week she made apple sauce!

Below is a cool sunset from a couple of weeks ago.
