Hello y'all and thank you for your sweet comments!  We've been busy preparing our garden for winter, and recently helped our neighbor butcher a deer, which was a blessed time of fellowship.  We've also been making lots and lots of soap.  Our vegetables in our hoop house are off to a great start.  We harvested 8 5 gallon buckets of worm castings about a month ago and the wigglers are working hard so we will be harvesting hopefully that much more of Black Golds again in a few days (by the way did you know you can feed these wonder worms to your chickens and that it is pure protein?).  We washed wool in tubs and used the left over wash water, which has lanolin and sheep manure, to fertilize our fall garden.  Once the cold weather sets in, we will get goin' on our winter crafting projects, and by the way you might check out our Crafting DVD for gift giving ideas for the holiday season!

Have a blessed fall!
