the earth's tilt on it's axis

The sun is beginning to shade out most of the front yard. We tore out the tomatoes, picked the rest of the red tomatoes and saved some of the green. The Jerusalem Artichoke is starting to die back and were going to harvest those soon. Finding time to harvest and process lately is difficult. Samantha and I are both anxiously awaiting our first eggs. The Chickens are getting close to six months old. We're hoping they lay before it gets too cold. We might supply a supplemental heat lamp during the winter months.
