A gentle breeze held off frost here at the farm.  Clear and 36 degrees.  Sunny today with a brisk NNE breeze, a high of 54, tonight's low, 39.  Cloudy tomorrow with an ENE  breeze, a high of 54.  Rain tomorrow night, a strong ENE breeze with a low of 48.  Rain Sunday morning with a strong SSE breeze.  Cloudy Sunday afternoon with a high of 63.  Some clearing late Sunday night with a low of 48.  Sunny Monday with a strong west breeze, a high of 57, a low of 34.  Partly cloudy Tuesday with a WSW breeze, a high of 52, a low of 34.  Partly cloudy Wednesday with a WNW breeze, a high of 47, a low of 28.  Partly cloudy Thursday with a WNW breeze, a high of 45, a low of 30.   Snow to rain next Friday with a brisk north breeze, a high of 43, a low of 31.  Partly cloudy next weekend with brisk NW breezes, high of 44, lows of 39. Some showers the week of November 8th with NW breezes, highs about 46, lows in the low thirties.

    It is down to 35 now.  I covered the winter squash with quilts.  Even though we didn't get frost they don't need to be chilled.  A lot have sold, what is left will go to the food cupboard Monday.

    Debbie spent the day canning.  I made an early run to Dover for jars.  She'll do more canning today.  She is going to help me plastic the chicken's windows.  The weather report says they won't get too warm. It also says next week  I may want to start the pellet stove for a few hours in the morning.

    I spent several hours cutting down the morning glory vines and taking them to the compost pile.  Every fall I say, "this is too much work, I won't plant so many next year."  Every spring I choose to forget.  This year was even worse because I didn't get out there to pull the volunteers that grew from last year's seeds.. Until last week they sure were pretty. The cows have cleaned up the sunflowers in the Maze so the birds will be glad to see all the feeders up and filled.  They've been cleaning out the few feeders I had in the open and eating suet.

    I think we'll plant garlic today.  May God be with you this day, Sally
