Fall again in the UP

I know it has been a long time since I posted. Lots has happened in THAT long time. I am new medications, that seem to be working, but I still have a lot of problems.

The weather has cooled off, even though it didn't get very warm this past summer. This coming from someone from the middle of Montana! August was very wet and cool. The L'Anse Farmers Market never offered the vegetables that they usually have.

Speaking of the Community Farmers Market, Randy and I had two tables this year. One for Skeeter's Fine Crafts and Randy took care of the Zeba United Methodist Indian Mission table. We had a bake sale every weekend, plus we had donations of "white elephant" type items. We raised over $1100 for the Church. We were delighted. I sold lots of Tater Baker Bags and other crafts. It was a very good season. We have one more craft show this fall, it is in November. I usually have good luck at that one.

There are other new things at the Camp Bell! In August, there was a guy selling chickens at the farmers market. I don't know how it happened, but we came home with 3 hens and a rooster. Now mind you, we don't have a farm like place. We live in the woods, no out buildings, sheds or the like. Now we have 4 chickens and no place to keep them. So the past few weeks we have spent building a shelter for them. I hope we can keep them warm through the UP winters! We are getting 2 eggs a day on a regular basis. One hen is has not started laying, but I expect she will any day, (week) now.

I couldn't sleep tonight, so I am up messing on the computer. Time to go back to bed. I will finish this update tomorrow.

Thanks for reading and remember.
Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Until next time........ (hopefully it won't be so long)
