The kids spent most of July in California visiting grandparents, so I don't have many photos to share from late summer.

A moose jumped the fence and ate a lot of stuff in the garden (sad!). We think it was a mom moose who has been around lately. Her calf ate some cover crop in the yard (outside the fence) the morning after the first of two nighttime incidents.

We pulled the Romanesco out before the moose attack, fortunately
