Time for the harvest

Its that time of year again when we start canning the harvest.  This season, Aigoola is staying in the city where we are focusing on her health .  With her blood sugar in check, she has just had her second eye surgery and all is going well.  We had a friend of Alina's come out to help with the canning in her absence . 

The student becomes the teacher .  with out Aigoola there, the boys have had to step it up a bit, and do the cooking and clean up.  Ruslan was making Samsa's today and enlisted the help of a guest visiting the farm . 

The trucks of fire wood have started to arrive.  This wood will be cut up and bagged, then be given with the coal for people to use to get the fires started .  As soon as this is bagged, we will start with the coal. 

It always feels worse at the end of the month when all the bills and Salaries need to be paid,  This month is particularly tight. If anyone would like to make a donation to our general fund at this time , it would sure be a big help.   I try not to get stressed about finances but this month I am not doing as well as others.
