Windy Day Recovery

Managed to survive the 60-80 mile an hour winds yesterday. High intensity with much angst as flying projectile flew by making life a little dangerous outside. Power was off for 7 hrs back on then off again for 1/2 hour. The generator certainly got its tune up for the up coming months. Showers are a daily ritual here. Need to be clean.

After The Big Dinner

Stuffed Turkey is the feeling for the moment

Black Ice

Recovering from slipping on the ramp that had black ice. Ouch!!!

Dehyrdated

Woke up to rain and a cold house. Immediately began the fire in both the wood stove and fireplace to warm up. O nice it feels and smells so good. Decided it was time to do something with the kitchen full of cherry tomatoes, so started cutting them in halve and putting them on trays for the dehydrator. I filled seven trays with those little jewels.

Rain, Snow and Ice

Been cold for the past few days. Yesterday rained much and snow clouds flew through the property. Had to light the fireplace and wood stoves upstairs and downstairs to keep warm. This morning slipped and fell on back from the icy ramp. Thanks no broken anything and at this age o it wouldn't be pretty.

hey

It is nice to have most of the work done here. Playtime is just to begin

Veteran's Day

Cloudy Overcast and Cooler

Well been canning, dehydrating apples. It has been such a bumper crop of apples this year running out of room for all of them. The freezer has 6 gallons of juice in it, 3 pies are on the kitchen island, the dehydrator is full. the basement fruit and room shelves are filling up quickly with applesauce, spiced apples and quarters of Fuji and Golden Delicious. Apples are everywhere in the house. Only have one more tree to finish picking and it happens to be the best Golden Delicious since it receives water once a week during the watering season.
