The unofficial end of summer is of course today Labor Day. The kids will go back to school and most vacations have ended.
Around here, summer will not end until September 21, which according to history is the Autumn Solstice.
From then forward we will prepare the gardens, animals, and house for the coming winter months. Not an easy task. It the spring tasks in reverse. Putting the hoses aways, tilling in the compost and other such chores. This year, we will build a chicken coop for the new chickens as well. We will too get ready for the goats that will arrive in the spring.
While summer vacation is over for most, life here on the farm is as busy as ever.
