Happy October

Just a short update for now.... I've started my new job at Earth Fare, and it's going really well. There are alot of nice people I've been meeting, and it's great to be working for a company that shares many of the same values that I do- a first and it's very refreshing! I'm really looking forward to what will come. I'm in charge of the floral section, which is a small area of produce. They didn't think we would have any flowers or plants for a while until we saw how sales were, but it turns out we will have roses and potted mums. So, I'm excited to have that! We've been working hard setting the entire store up, and tomorrow two of the other produce workers and I are going to the Asheville store (the original Earth Fare) to help out there and learn. They're picking me up at 4:45am! Wow.... glad I have the weekend off! I've been spending what time I can in the woods and by the creek. Last night after I got home Zeppelin, Charley, Izzy and I went for a hike partly up the mountain (it's not that big...) behind the house. There is a definite animal trail that we followed, and I'm guessing it's deer. We went farther than before but still have alot to explore! It was really fun to have the whole family out exploring together. Last night it got really cold- 39! I'm going to have to get the propane tank filled soon for heat! Luckily I had a space heater that did the job, along with 2 comforters and 3 blankets! The leaves are starting to change. It's going to be beautiful soon. It already is. It's BBQ night at the hobbit house.... we're having BBQ chicken, sweet potato and salad.... yum!! I hope everyone it well and I'll be back in touch soon! Much love-
