Mt. Zion area is enjoying a little cooler weather, some had rain some did not. I bet the next time I am out and about the farmers will be harvesting corn. Plants are looking a little like fall. Those soybeans are sure tall hope there not all show and no beans.

My door knob garden is producing tomatoes thanks to the neighbors.

I thought I had a problems until I talked to Robin Siegismund, my problem is I can’t hardly walk for tripping over the six chickens I have, Robin said she had the same problem only 50 chickens underfoot; but she is teaching Belle the dog to herd them away. Belle is doing well; but enjoys her afternoon treat of cool water in her swimming pool and her popsicle treat. The kids have left but Billy and Buddy goat will spend the winter.
