Winding Down
September 13, 2008 By
The gardens are starting to wind down. I am glad in a way,?? but sad in others. It will give me a chance to get some other projects done. It gives me time to get all??my canning done before we have to start getting the yard and gardens ready for winter.
Today, I will be making and canning tomato sauce. I think tomorrow, we will work on gathering apples from the neighbors and cidering them for juice for the winter. We froze the juice last year, but this year, I am going to can in quart jars. It will save room in the freezer for other things we need to stock up on. We plan on stocking up and hunkering down for the winter. Since the grocery store is about 40 minutes away, we want to make sure we have all that we need to get us through most of the cold winter months.
Stacking wood will be next!
Doing It All Over Again
September 10, 2008 By
I found out today that I will have to do the kitchen all over again. It would be the best way to stop the paint from chipping off now, and in the future.

I am looking forward to doing the Celebrate Effinhgam??Chili Cook Off again. I can’t believe it is next weekend. It came up on me so quickly. I have ordered my special spices, and I will have to shop for the meat??next week.?? We have put up the signs at various locations, and we hope to get atleast a couple more participants before the deadline.

So,??I decided to see what was behind the plywood walls in the kitchen. I took the crowbar , and gently lifted it from the wall. When I pulled it back, there it was…gold. [Read more...]
