A big thank you to all of you who have gotten the cookbook. We have received many wonderful reviews and compliments. It is very exciting.

MUI REPORT:
Mui has been enjoying the super moon this month. 
He has showed up late for breakfast many mornings now.

BARN NEWS:
All is good with the cows and horses. Many returning guests have noted that Cedric and Fernando are bigger., it the wonderful grass of the monsoon season. Fernando especially is looking like a brick of a cow, red, rectangular, and solid.

WORD OF THE MONTH:
The word is really the name of the September moon- the super moon of August was so grand. We checked out the moon for this month.
It is the Harvest Moon. It is bright and orange. Farmers would work longer hours to complete the harvest, hence the name.
The moon's orbit is parallel to Earth's orbit making moon rise full and a bit later....more light to work and play. A perfect time for us and the Mui.
