The Sheriff's Farewell

Well, folks, it's sure been an October to remember on the Homestead...

We took our boxes of CSA goodies and showed 'em who was boss!

We roasted our pumpkins and perfected our seeds.

And The Sheriff was proud as punch to see it was a big enough steer to get herded up into the second MoFo Round-Up, Taco Tuesday!

We made soup outta her, too...

We wrangled down and dried those herbs faster than the best cowhand!

We jeweled (not canned! ;-) our jars, 

And got in a whole heap o' trouble...Candyin' Cowboys, Hornswagglin' Salads, even Homesteadin' up a Hoagie, that The Sheriff had to pay us a visit!

It's a good thing The Sheriff stayed in town to keep an eye on things since I had to go out on the town!

Had to get me a snack, too...

And don't ya' know? Me and The Sheriff were in the ol' black and white!

The Sheriff could relax and toast his boots, while I got to workin' my way through those big, beautiful boxes of CSA produce, freezin' everything in sight! 

But, then there was trouble on The Homestead, Miss Sandy was headin' right for New Jersey. The Sheriff don't like that kinda stress, so he fancied up those Candied Cowboys real good...


He felt a little better, and he spruced right up when he met 'Pa and got a present!

Still, even the cat needed help gettin' through the storm...

We all did.

A whole lotta folks in New Jersey need our help right now.  Don't forget 'em.  

Farewell, Aquarium! We will never forget you!

Stay safe, stay warm, be kind to each other, and I'm sure The Sheriff will come back for a visit soon.

It's been a real pleasure, folks.

XOXO
The Sheriff
