another quickie

Another 5 minute update:

• The fair was great -- I lasted from 2 til 9 which is quite an accomplishment given my summer. Pics to follow.
• We are busy converting the old creamery into the chickens' winter home.
• The garden is producing well, especially zucchinis and beets. I roast, shred, and freeze the beets for winter borscht.
  
• We are packing for our upcoming vacation on Vancouver Island. Mom and I are going up with the kids. Then mom leaves and bff comes up. Then she leaves and beloved husband comes up. The kids and I are there for two weeks.
• Both kids are really enjoying reading.
