Henri Whimpers Out of Southern NH

Henri Whimpers Out of Southern NH

Here we are Sunday morning Henri's bands are about to hit Boston.  Monday it rained all day off and on, by Tuesday we're back to Sunny and HOT, Wed, and Thursday in the 90s again.  The good thing is we don't have any cleanup to do.

IDA is about to Hit Louisiana, god help those folks.
Ida could be the strongest hurricane to ever make landfall in Louisiana.

 

Driving Saturday, the swamp maples are all red, and starting to lose their leaves.  we see an occasional early maple turning

 

HOPS in the Old Apple tree out back, a prolific year for them.


Saturday's haul, Black Cherry and Roma paste tomatoes are starting to come in, and
our first Fine Eatin' Tomato, Mortgage Lifter. Ate the tomato on, a good white bread, with mayo, what could be better, YUM!  Maybe Bacon...

Harvested a couple more Roma tomatoes today, one zucchini, and another quart of blackberries.

Our Veterinarian Dr. Randall Snyder of Foxbend Veterinary Clinic passed away in August, he was an amazing Vet, we'll miss him.  We got both Zeb and Hanna from them.

 "The Blue Monkeys" played the Weare, NH Farmers Market again yesterday, Aug 28th the weather held just barely, as it started raining on the way home.
(L-R Chris, Jamie, Jarrod, and OJ)

Grammy, & Grandpa drove up to Weare to watch a couple of sets from the band,  It was a slow day due to the cool, potentially rainy day too bad.   Three generations in the audience watching the band was kinda cool. It was great to see them.
 
Jarrod got the boys a Chevy Cavalier for them to learn in and drive as their first car, it runs well and will be a good first vehicle.  I took both James and Jason out driving on Saturday the 28th, one at a time. We drove up to Everett Dam, down the back way on Rt 13 to Sully's, through downtown, and then back to the house.  Both of the boys did very well, I was quite impressed. Someone tell me, how exactly is it possible these two are old enough to drive...?

I ran some electrical and did some plumbing on Sunday, in the home stretch.  I need to install the Electrical outlet and tie the 220v line into the panel.


Last but not least of my ramblings to the day is IT'S OFFICIALLY FALL, Rose noticed the New England Asters blooming in the field on our way to the deer yard yesterday.
