All the Leaves are Brown

The property is really starting to look like winter is arriving. The Liquid Amber trees at the front have almost lost all their leaves and the grass hasn't been mowed for a month and doesn't look like it needs to be mowed for a wee bit. And all my winter crops are coming along wonderfully.

I have already began harvesting my winter crops of turnip, daikon, silver-beet, and rhubarb. The huge bed of sweet potatoes needs digging up, and my lemonade tree is almost ready. That means more homegrown food will soon be ready. The next lot of vegies goes in tomorrow - that should include Broccoli, garlic, leeks, more turnips, and cauliflower. And then of course our winter lambs should burst out of the chests of the sheep as in Aliens - that is how they give birth isn't it?

The spare bedroom should be finished this weekend if Myles braves the ladder - it will be the first room in the main house completely finished.

Finally with the weather turning, and warmth needed from winters shadow, Myles and I would like to pass on our sympathy to Missy's parents who are grieving her loss. Missy was a remarkable 19yo cat who, like Cher, still looked like a kitten. We will be having a toast to you tonight Missy.
