Here in the Northeast, this is the first week of cold, windy weather. Until now, temperatures have been unusually warm for this time of year. Because of the milder conditions, we were able to complete all our fall chores, plus a few other projects on the list. The farm is definitely ready for the season, and looks beautiful.
