We're having a lovely, prolonged autumn in Strawberry Park, with perfect blue skies and excellent fall colors.

We've outfitted the kitchen with supplies to start us on the way to making delicious value-added products out of our produce. Monica has already been experimenting with different recipes, as seen in the photo, with Henry supervising. Also, we've had Maya helping out with butterfly catching.

4,000 bulbs are in the ground, and we have new vestibules on both doors of the greenhouse to store supplies in and keep winter winds out. This should be a much more comfortable winter, with the pellet stove in the greenhouse, and of course Bohai to take shelter in if we have temperatures and snowfall like last year!
