Happy October! May the pumpkin gods bless us with sunny weekends. The last pickings for green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes have begun. Didn’t I just tell you about the first ones? Time sure does fly.

That’s all for this week. I’ve noticed the squirrels gathering all kinds of stuff, but after the prediction I made last year of a mild winter, I think I will hold back for a bit yet. Stay tuned. Have a great week, be safe and I will talk to you next time. Bye.
