October Homesteader in Maine

My hands consistently look like working hands, been in the dirt almost everyday.  I hosted another plant swap, so I dug to share and digging to plant.

Pulled a couple quarts off the Raspberries...hard to believe October 28th and I'm still pulling raspberries. 

My raspberry faced helper...

With a tutu, naturally. 

The best dinner for a homesteader who is spending every bit of time outdoors working? Fresh picked fruit, our own eggs, homemade bread (thank you freezer) and homemade jam (popped open that mason jar). 

Still have garlic, tulips, cranberries and parsnips to plant. Still have to dig some bulbs that don't winter in the garden. Still have some perennial flowers I aim to move.  Still have lots to do before the ground freezes. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.  Perhaps I need my own tutu to keep me on my toes.
