Journaling:
Garden cleanup was a family affair this year. All the children except Grace and Nathan got into the work with helping to gather the last of the vegetables as well as general cleanup. We took advantage of the cool weather and cleaned up the garden for the season on this overcast Saturday, September 24, 2005. Ron harvested 16 bottleneck gourds of which 14 of them we sold to the owners of the local farmer's stand. The gourds were mostly growing from the compost pile along with many cherry tomato plants and a few roma tomato plants. We gathered the tomatoes as well as pulled a few onions from the garden and gathered the last of the slicing tomatoes. We took up the tomato cages and pulled out the stakes. Cut down the strings that the beans and peas had trellised up. As well as pulled up the corn stalks and bundled those. The compost pile got mulched under with the rotor-tiller attachment for the weedeater. While pulling up the tomato plants, we found a few tomato horn worms. Trey, Jakob, and Emma would squeal with delight when one was found and take the worm to the ducks and chickens as a treat. Not sure who enjoyed the finding of the tomato horn worms more.. the children or the poultry. When I was taking the picture of our little red wagon loaded with the gourds and baskets of vegetables, Junior, one of the cats, came over and laid down at the wheel. He wanted to be in the picture too apparently. He laid there until I took the picture and then walked off.

Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us.
