I may have been a little bit stressed when I wrote last week’s newsletter about all the work we had to catch up on. But with the help of our amazing crew we are well on our way in getting caught up. We took down all the shade cloths and put them away for the winter. We stretched and sandbagged about 15 silage tarps on the spring garden. And we have began to catch up on all the mowing, but there is a lot!
Almost all the summer crops are out of the fields, we will bush hog them down and break the ground so we can remove the buried drip tape. If there is time to prepare the soil, we will plant more winter cover crop of oats and peas. It is important to get all the plant material worked into the soil so that it does not provide winter homes for stink bugs and their ilk. They are already looking for places to overwinter, we keep finding them in the house

Over the weekend, Randy and I took to trip to New Orleans to attend the opening of the New Orleans Art Association’s 25th National Juried Show
because I have a painting in the show. We ate as much food as possible in while we were in New Orleans and came home tired and full. I was honored that my painting received a Merit Award.
