I promise some exciting photos of the corn and soybean harvest but until then we're focused on decorating for fall and hitting the farmer's markets and roadside stands for the final batch of fresh vegetables and pumpkins.
The weather has been very warm and it allows us to scurry to finish those last minute outdoor projects before winter hits. I mowed the two acres and the Farmer and I did some prep work in anticipation of pouring the concrete pad for the generator. Hopefully the good temperatures will hold and allow us to finish next weekend.
Sometimes I feel like a slave to the house and the property. I feel like the young woman selling corn by the roadside. I feel like flopping down and doing absolutely nothing!
Want to do nothing with me?
We'll site around and eat grapes and gossip. Who wants to start?

**waves hand franticaly in the air - while stuffing mouth full of grapes** ME ME ME!!! I like to eat, but the gossip part - only if its posotive!!!! LOL What is some good gosip? Oh, have I told you that Milk Man wants another baby?....wipe that look off your face! LOL
Count me in with Heidi, except my hubby wants no more children...in fact heidi he would probably loan one or both of ours out. Just until they turn 30 or so. OK..Pass the grapes please!
Grapes and gossip.
I'm there.
I'll bring in some donuts.
No more children here.
Can we have 'fermented grapes' too?
I'm up for some lazing about!
Come on to my house - Ole makes some dynamite homemade wine if you're looking for fermented grapes - I don't want anymore babies, but I sure could use some grand babies!
No gossip for me...LOL...I've had more than I can take. I will take some grapes...and more of Fall's bounty. Our warm weather has passed...now we are trying to keep warm with comfort food. I love October.

mmmm I'll be there, but I'll bring coffee and chocolate too. Sounds much better than the cleaning that is on my list.
Oh I'd far rather discuss something interesting like the Roman aqueduct John was telling me about this morning and why it's nearly impossible for it to fall. Are you up for that? :D
All that is not to say that I don't enjoy flopping down myself and you sound way too busy! It must be time for a cup of coffee and some pumpkin coffee cake.
The ultimate day. Raining. PJ's. Snack plates full of nibbles, movies, gossip on the phone...grapes.
Oh yeah, I'm there!

I have a bunch of grapes here !!!
No more children here, either. But occassionaly I do get this teeny weeny hankering. I wonder if it ever really goes away???
Can't wait to be a hands on Grandma again ... I have 5 of them waiting in NZ for me..
My hand is in the air!
I know exactlly what you mean about being a slave to the house so count me in on the doing nothing thing! ( not the mowing and pouring concrete thing though )
really really late to the gossip party, but I wanted to tell you that...
Oh, to do nothing.
I'm not much into gossip most of the time, but I could do it one-on-one. A roomful and I'd have to go to a corner and read a book.
Maybe I'll have time for this when I'm 90-something.
