It’s sledding season! 🎉
Today I asked Groves Bros to hang the coat hooks of my dreams. One brother slept thru the whole thing, another brother lost a tiny bag of screws, another lost interest, but this brother here, together with his mother, got the job done! 8 hooks for 8 people. I am over the moon! (Actually, 7 hooks until we find that little baggie...😅)
Happy Combine Day! Abel’s first! It was thrilling as ever, a very favorite annual non-holiday Holiday around here.
I started blogging again! Just the old fashioned stories-and-pics blog post. I have two up at thegrovestead.com and am excited about getting back in the groove. 🎉
I believe pumpkins are my favorite thing to harvest. Maybe I don’t have to have a favorite...because potatoes are fun too. And apples. And raspberries. But yes, I think pumpkins still top the list.
We’ve got a new favorite author here. Thanks Rory!

On-Farm Butchering

I always say that an animal on our farm lives the best life possible, right up until the last day. Now I’d change that to, “right up until the very last second.”
