    The groundwork is done for the new greenhouse.  Now the sand has to settle and pack before the greenhouse is set up.

The mums are all moved to the display area.  Corn shocks and hay bales  are for sale.  Some pumpkins are on display, more will go out today.  Fall has arrived even though it isn't the 21st yet.

    Nine pullet eggs yesterday.  Four on the floor, five in nests.  They are beginning to realize what is happening and where they should lay the egg.  I'm disappointed that one of the hens that is supposed to be an araucana is laying a white egg.  Customers like the colored eggs.

   About 50 blue jays showed up yesterday to eat the acorns from the oak trees.  How does the word  get out?  We haven't been seeing any bluejays.  Both the garden pond and the maple syrup pan farm are full of frogs.For a while  the crows, ravens and raccoons were eating all the frogs.  Frogs, toads, snakes, we are happy to see them.  Their diet consists of garden insects we don't like.

    Yesterday I kept my sister company , she was having a yard sale that included lots of Christmas stuff.  I bought decorations for wreaths and lights for the Country Junction Christmas.  They already have orders for several wreaths.  I also got bows for the church box.

   May God bless you on this day, Sally
