1. Today’s late-October tomato harvest, straight from the garden, no greenhouses involved. If it keeps getting colder, these will probably be some of the last.

  2. We felled a tree at Neumühle and it was exciting!

    This big fir was a perfectly nice tree in a completely ridiculous place. Out with the chainsaw!

    The tree is replaced by our new firepit, made out of an old cast iron turbine bearing from the mill.

    The tree’s legacy lives on in eight log stools made out of the trunk.
