A few weeks ago the stores got the Christmas stuff out. They've already got aisles and aisles of decorations out.
 

October 13, 2026

Last weekend we got the pool covered. I got rye planted around the peppers, which we left since they're still growing.
 

October 12, 2026

I guess President Trump was in a city not too far away- close enough my daughter couldn't fly today because we're in a no-fly zone. Somebody in a little, old bi-plane flew into the county airport near us and we got buzzed by an F16 fighter jet for about 15 minutes.
 

October 11, 2026

The car my daughter uses got new brakes on the front today.
 

October 10, 2026

We got fall chores done today- got the cover on the pool, the gardens disced and rye cover crop planted, except for the one with the pumpkins that are still growing. This is the rye seed.

We saw these fungus back in the woods. I have no idea what they are, but there's a lot of those round ones.

We're drying our potatoes for storage.

October 4, 2026

I planted some hungarian sweet wax peppers... which are not sweet, but rather hot. At least they are colorful.
 

October 3, 2026

The pumpkins we got so far. They're not huge, but they have a nice shape and color.

The garden section where we grew sweet corn is ready for rye for the winter.

We went to an air show today. They had several old military planes on display.
 

September 25, 2026

We picked the pumpkins which were ready and some of the indian corn. The moon was coming up as we loaded the truck. It looks very autumn-y.

September 20, 2026

I got a line up to hang herbs to dry, starting with parsley.
 

September 19, 2026

We're getting daily rain. Once it dries up a bit we'll get the dirt smoothed out and grass planted. For now, I've got board stepping stones to get to the greenhouse.
 

September 18, 2026

Two cantaloupes were ready today. They are really good and sweet. The bigger one was 4.5 pounds and the other was almost 4 pounds.
 

September 17, 2026

We got some things in the greenhouse for now.
 

September 16, 2026

This is the starting point of the interior of the greenhouse. The shelves were kind of small and are already out of there.
 

September 15, 2026

My greenhouse was delivered today. It got moved in on wheels driven by this little motorized contraption.
 

September 14, 2026

The pad is ready. The greenhouse is supposed to come tomorrow.

September 11, 2026

We got a big dump truck of gravel for the greenhouse.
 

September 10, 2026

My daughter got her private pilot license over the summer. The school holds a ceremony for those who got their license and she got pins with wings and the school's logo. It was a fairly big event, with many pilots attending and a few making speeches. This plane is the one she flew for her solo trip to qualify for her license.

A thunderstorm popped up at sunset. The sky looked like a painting.

That's my daughter flying. She's always just a little speck in the sky.
 

August 31, 2026

We bought a 10' X 12' pre-fab greenhouse. We're getting the ground prepped to place it here.

We canned about 18 pints of salsa.
 

August 29, 2026

Fair time!
