Apple season is officially upon us and, I have to say, I am so incredibly excited about it! Since we’ve processed all 150 pounds of gifted apples, it’s finally time to start harvesting the apples from our own tiny trees! Now, we put in our apple trees just a few…
Happy Monday everyone! The past week has brought us all kinds of weather…clear and cold, cloudy and rainy, clear and warm…short sleeve days followed by two layers of long sleeves and then short sleeves again. Welcome to fall in Santa Fe! The garden and chickens don’t like it very much,…
