The strawberries were covered this past week; the blueberries were mulched; machinery was winterized & put away. Farmer Bill took off this morning to pick up a new (to him) tractor in Virginia and won't be back for about 6 days. I plan on spending a lot of time working in my sewing room while he's gone. I hope to finish the wall quilt I started last spring, and make a start on a new quilt for our bed that I've been planning for almost 2 years. When I need a break from sewing I'll work on a few home improvement projects -- light fixtures in the hallway come to mind -- and do some fall cleaning.
We had a light dusting of snow last night, which covers up the brown and makes things look very clean and pretty. Not enough yet to get out the snowshoes...
We had a pretty good apple season this year, which helped make up some of the deficit from the strawberries (see posts about the river field). But Farmer Bill will still be on an austerity budget -- except for the tractor -- this winter. He's needed another tractor for several years; to be able to keep the employees busy and the work moving along in the summer.
