Tonight raking leaves wore out my Cricket and there are A LOT more to fall and rake. Too funny!

Another beautiful sunset over Boyden Lake and a good hair day, too.

Winterizing is quite a thing in these parts and almost a full time job as we hunker for our long winter in Maine. Winterized two cottages, Kingsbury House, docks in, furniture in, chimney cleaned, wood in basement, garlic mostly in, bulbs in, winter cover crop & grass seed spread, rhubarb covered, mouse traps reloaded. Still need to finish up a few things particularly the gutters & raking but we are getting there! Today Eric spotted me while I scaled the roof and cleaned the chimney. Beautiful but terrifying to be on top of the house. I spotted my Dad for decades who could swing that ladder onto the roof with one arm. Damn.

I used to ball out loud because I got so overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done. At least I’ve finally stopped that.

I always need help but I’m gettin’ ‘er done.✅

Big thanks to Eric, Kirstin, Paul, Angie, Paul, and Mercedes for all the help!

Learning curve! Tada. Organic, Georgian crystal hardneck black garlic. Some came out great, some overcooked, some undercooked. Whoops! Using my own heat sources of a crockpot & rice cooker to experiment. I see a dehydrator in my 2027 future. Rice cooker was a rockstar. Key is rotation & timing. I’ll get there! Meanwhile we will celebrate the wins. Plenty for fancy libations & a batch of icecream. Fun with garlic. 🧄

I wonder if our bear plans to den under our barn this winter. Golly, I hope not. That’s too close. This pile of an even more apple-filled s**t is VERY close to the barn. He was RIGHT here!

Tonight was a stunner of a sunset overlooking Boyden Lake and back at Kendall Farm. What a spectacular sky no matter what direction your snout was pointin’!

I decided to can instead of freeze all of my fruit this year. So I have different combos of rhubarb, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries some with sugar and some without sugar. Hopefully this will work! I refuse to buy a chest freezer. I’m boiling the quart & pint jars for 30 minutes. 🤞🍀🪩
