In the down swing

We cant believe Summer is over already! Feels like we just got started! Hopefully this time next year we will be about done building the house on some beautiful land!

We have tilled in the garden for winter, most things were spent and looking pretty ugly. Mom G had the Corson Family reunion on September 20th and we didn't want the garden looking gross for moms guests.

We still have broccoli, carrots, beets, radishes, turnips and lettuce growing. Next year the garden will be a bit simpler since we will be securing some land and building. We have narrowed down some favorites that we grew this year and will focus mainly on those. We felt we had to many varieties of everything this year and some were not as good as others.

We have been busy otherwise. We went to Virginia Beach for Adams Grandpa Atkins 90th Birthday, he looked great and had a good time. He had lots of friends and family show up to see him. It was so nice to see a lot of family I had not met before. We got some time to jump in the ocean and walk on the beach before we came back to this cold Missouri weather!

Last weekend we went out for Adams birthday. We went pumpkin picking! There is a neat farm locally we like to visit each fall that has a hayride out to a pumpkin field and lots of cute animals to play with. We each got to play with a little chicken and pet some goats, Adam was a happy little farm boy! Cant wait till we have our own!
