October 30

We received a great Halloween package earlier this week from Mimi and Timber - including Lizzie's own special cookie! She thought it was pretty special, as you can tell.
The weekend before that, we went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Lizzie did a great job picking out pumpkins and lugging them to the wagon. She has lots of practice as she helps Grampy with his squash deliveries most weeks this fall.





Dan and Rachel were in Maine for a concert two weeks ago. Rachel and Dan spent some time teaching Lizzie how to do handstands and back bends. It was great kite flying weather too!












Ryan spent much of that weekend moving his greenhouses. Here are the beds, all prepped and ready for their new winter crop. Since we had snow last night, I am extra glad he was able to get these moved!

Here is Indie, one of our enormous pigs (he is older and bigger than those that we plan to put in the freezer later this year - we are planning to keep him through the winter and with his help are hoping for piglets come spring).



I was wearing Martin in a backpack for most of the pictures above, so he didn't make many of the photos. He loved the ride, though!

We had a nice family breakfast - here is Mom making the bacon. I don't remember it coming up at this time, but quite often we are reminded to cook bacon on a low heat slowly (which I believe was my grandfathers trick for yummy bacon) - it seems to work as this was delicious!
