Here's Spot, keeping an eye out for all the fall happenings at The Farm.  This weekend, there's even a wedding!  Can't wait to see those pictures. 

During the spring and summer, it's natural to assume the bittersweet is just another green vine providing shade for the chickens.  But then the berries explode in shades of orange, red, & yellow,  and we all HaVe to have some to drape over our pumpkins :)   And speaking of pumpkins:

We're busy getting ready for Open House this coming weekend, Saturday October 1st 10 - 5, and Sunday the 2nd from 1 to 4 pm.   The garden is still beautiful and we have lots of pumpkins and new things for fall.    There will be treats too :)

And some other dates for your calendar:
Petersburg Holiday Market Place, Saturday November 12th, 10 to 5

The Farm's Christmas Open House Saturday December 3rd, 10 to 5 and Sunday the 4th 1 to 4.
The Farm's Closing House, last day for year-end clearance Saturday December 17th, 10 to 5.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

A View From the Window

Here's what a smart cat does on the dog days of summer!  Our Spot has grown into a long-legged-full-grown cat; but as you can see, he hasn't lost his spots that gave him his name.  These may be long lazy days of August, but inside we're gearing up for the fall season.  See  ya soon! 

Garden Mascot

Spot is having a great time,watching over all these early spring  happenings in the garden and the greenhouse.   Every little breeze that stirs up a leaf or a twig--he's on it!

Introducing. . .

Spot!  Isn't he a cutie?  He just showed up one morning, said hi to Gail, and moved right into the greenhouse.  We think he'll earn his keep--both by melting our hearts and by defending the garden from all sorts of critters.     So next time you're in the garden, peek into the greenhouse and say hello to The Farm's newest addition.
