Today I made a simple breakfast of toasted baguette slices and Brie with jam, drank homemade cold brew, prepared garden beds, cleaned out the coop, used said excrement to start a new compost pile, moved big logs into position for tomorrow’s full day of chopping and splitting. Collected tons of seeds into envelopes from the garden. Neighbor dog visited for a couple hours and the kids and I played fetch and soccer with her. Roasted Brussels sprouts and fingerlings and garlic for dinner with butter/cider sauce. One of the better fall days in recent memory.
