We worked down in the garden area.  Norman spread manure and I fertilized the wild blueberries and cut out the scrub seedings and briars.   Looks like a bad storm is on the way to New England.  I hope you are all ready for it and will be safe.  We will get cold tonight.  It started out warm this morning at 60 and never got much warmer all day but tonight it calls for temps down in the 30’s and staying in the low 50’s for the next few days.  This is the cold front that will be feeding the hurricane that is headed for New York.  Let me know you are alright Sunday and Monday, I will be praying for you and thinking of you all.  Take care of yourself.
