Started pulling up the stakes in the garden, time to start cleaning it up for the fall.

Picked up another load of cattle feed.

Went to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked (20/20), but I still need reading glasses. She said to just buy over-the-counter ones for now & we can reacess my needs in 6 months.
Spray painted 3 of the 4 planters. I'm work stop until the rest of the paint is delivered.
Ordered a Scratch Resistant Polycarbonate Flip Windshield for the new Defender. Also ordered the Scratch Resistant Polycarbonate Rear Window.
Well, it's about that time, LOL!!!

Finished pulling up all the garden stakes & stowed them away. Then pulled all the plants & then added them to the burn pile.
Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets.
Start the sourdough for making crumpets tomorrow. They have been on my bucket list for a while now...

Been busy with the cottage food thing.. fermented hot sauce, jalapeño kraut, pickled okra, pickled green beans, assorted jellies and a whole bunch of pickles.
Rained all day today .. I got a whole lot of nothing done outside. Ordered a new metal shelving unit today to store some of this stuff until I can sell a bunch of it. Signed up for a booth at a local town festival in October. Still fun so far. If it turns into work I’ll stop.

^^^ Well done!!! ^^^
Drizzling off & on today (0.09" thus far).
Made the sourdough crumpets & will say that I'm glad I tried them, but both of us thought that they were uninspiring. I'll try making regular crumpets next & hopefully they will taste like something.
Both the front & read windshields for the Defender arrived today. Also received the Christmas gift that I ordered for my lil' buddy.

They all look fantastic.............
Installed the front & rear windshields on the Defender. It took almost 8 solid hours to get done & I wished I had a helper, neither of them was a 1 person job... I just glad it's done.
Got a passing shower midday (0.05").
Fed the cattle.
