Harvest moon

This one time
just this past weekend
I went to the farmers market
and spoke to a farmer about planting garlic. 
I said to that man...
"when do I plant the garlic seeds?"
to which he replied
"After the first harvest moon little one"
to which I am pretty sure I
 contorted my face 
to look real ugly
 and I looked at him
and I said
"Thank you Big Running Bull, I will go home send smoke signals to my great ancestors, their wisdom will guide me to the harvest moon"
(I didn't REALLY say that because I was trying to look like a smart farmer, I think I just said ohh "yeah I totally know when that is")
but really I was like whatev
I'm gunna google that, cause I got me no idea when or what that there harvest moon is.
Nor do I have time to send smoke signals 
psshhh 
he thinks I might know something about something...

NOPE! 


ANYWAYS!
We were thinking about growing garlic now that the hops are underway 
but no one knows when to plant
except me me because google told me 
It's October 11
October 12 is national garlic planting day
I'm lieing its not national garlic planting day 
It will just be Whipple garlic planting day.

AAHHHH
Are you exhausted reading yet?
I'm exhausting myself
I can't make up my dang mind 

Anyways here are a few pictures of our HOP harvest 
that was totally awesome 
even though we get 
a whopping 
$00 
yep 
zero dollars 
for it this year
...I am telling you AWESOME

Then remind me to tell you about the time that I made Justin pose for me to take pictures. 
I like made him into a model 
It was cool 
and the pics are funny
cause he totally got into it. 
tee hehe 
Hes sooooo stuck with me 


















Here is the most 
Important 
Part of hop farming
After you are done picking
YOU MUST
 STick your head in the bag
to smell the hoppy loveliness






 Dog fight

 Indian chicken warrior
 Indian strong man warrior
 FYI 
These two just had their very first wedding anniversary

wheeellpppp
thats all for now folks
Please excuse
the abundance of sarcasm
the teenagers are rubbing off on on me
and teachers are not allowed to be sarcastic
so I save it all up for you
and poor poor Justin
ahhh I love that man :)
Until the harvest moon ...
