Hopefully this will be may last blog for the day! I only have two days of internet connection left, so I have to take advantage of it.
The butternut squash are all taken care of.
Of the four that were left out in the garden, two small ones rotted, and it's iffy that the larger ones will ripen. I'm going to put them in the garage, and if they get ripe fine, if not, so be it. I'll not add their weight to this year's harvest.
One big basket full has already been loaded into the pickup for the trip south. I think I had six of them in the basket. Others were put into the laundry room, where it will be a constant 45F through the winter.
Some squash are still waiting for their space atop the dryer, once I finish the last minute laundry. The beans are still drying in the baskets on the top shelf in the window. These are the ones that have already been shelled, and upon today's inspection, seem to be fully dried and ready to be put into jars and stored until spring.
The final loaf of bread has been baked, and as soon as the bread machine cools off it will be packed into the back of the pickup. We've only bought one loaf of bread since I bought this machine, and it languished in the bread drawer until it turned several shades of green. 
A big crockpot of chicken thighs is cooking, which will be frozen and taken south for meals for the two dogs. I've been reducing the amount of chicken and increasing the amount of dry dog food in their dinners, so this pot of a dozen chicken thighs will give them twelve days of meals. Annie is beginning to look like she's losing a little weight. Her butt doesn't look quite as large as it did a couple weeks ago.
And then I have to deal with these. I think I'll throw them at passing cars.
