Had our first frost this morning, though not completely encompassing of the farm. It was light, but it certainly was there. I was able to take low to the ground cuttings of my Pineapple Sage to try, for the 3rd time, to clone them. I have to say, it was much easier in the spring than it has been this late in the season. Maybe the third time will be the charm!I will have another week to myself as Guy heads north on Monday. It will be a busy week with a trip north myself to my Oak Clinic with a fellow MSer who took my advice--she's been having a difficult time with the doctors down here, and I think she'll like my neuro... Then, the annual breast vice-grip on Wednesday. I've also been thinking about getting a flu shot though I'm rarely sick (knock on wood; thank you Goddess). I think I stay well because I don't see too many people out here on the farm. I'm also a big hand-washer when I get home from a trip to town and even while I'm in town (of course, I always need to use the restroom--I know where they all are in Coshocton county LOL).I still need to get my Egypian onions planted though the garlic is finally in--day after Columbus Day so close to the old-timer's planting date--it was also Dark Moon so that worked as well. Maybe I'll start on the area for the E. onions tomorrow; I think I can manage a decent bed by hand, and of course, when I'm out there trying, sometimes the man feels guilty so he comes to help...Oh, well, that's it for me for now. I've got to get back to the launtree project as the last load has been sitting in the dryer for a while!

The sage gets pretty woody this late in the season. Make sure you take the youngest growing tips. Be well.-Jen
