Thanksgiving is around the corner and we wish you all and safe and happy holiday!

We picked several pounds of apples over the past few weeks and finally got them all pressed and made into cider...and soon hard cider. We've put our garden to bed for the year and have enough firewood to last us plenty of cold nights. Jeremiah is working hard in the field and in the office, I'm busy writing for a new project I'm working on, and Finn has successfully conquered potty training...our family's greatest accomplish!

In a few weeks Jeremiah and I are going on a small vacation to a cabin on the McKenzie River, just the two of us, for our Christmas gift to each other. I can't wait...hiking, reading, snow shoeing, napping...I'll make sure I post some nature shots when we get home.
