The vegetable garden is tucked in for the winter. Just in time, as we're supposed to dip down to freezing temps in the next couple of nights.
In the raised beds, vegetables are starting to appear.

We opened the hive yesterday for the last time this year (unless something goes awry), and the bees (population down to a couple of thousand) are looking well-supplied for winter with plenty of honey. There was even a little bit of brood.
And now that we're on vacation for the week, that means lots of autumn walks in the open space.
The kids are starting to look awfully grown up! |
Looking forward to family time and good food this coming week!
