We added eight more pints to the pantry. I had a little more deer chili left over than I estimated, I figured about three gallons but ended up with three and a half after dinner Friday night. They went into the canner along with three quarts of leftover greens from the week.
We also baked up a batch of banana bread and corn bread.
Sunday morning we started our usual breakfast, but when we went out to start the grill up, we had a couple unexpected visitors in the yard.
After breakfast there was a quick trip to town to do some trading for the kiddos, then it was on to a weekend project.
When I was a small chirrun, around six or so, there was a small log home in Cambria where I grew up on the corner of our street. We caught the bus to school in front of the house, but on the side of the house there were two large chestnut trees. My neighborhood posse would spend the morning and afternoons after school climbing these chestnut trees, much to the chagrin of the old couple who owned the property. According to Pops, the old man brought him two chestnut trees that had sprouted up next to his big trees and told Pop to plant these for me to climb on our own property, then he cut down the two trees on his property. Forty years later, Pop's trees are about the size of the old guys trees when I climbed them.
So keeping the forty year tradition alive, Cupcake and I dug up two sprouts that had started up from the big trees, and moved them on to The Acre. With any luck, when Speedy is our age his kids can climb on these.
We ended the weekend with chicken wings, as usual.
Hope everyone has a great week.
