Keeping Busy

This week kept us jumping.
We started the week out making even more sketti sauce.

We got nine more quarts of sketti sauce and ten jars of pizza sauce. The rest of the tomatoes are going in to jars this year. We think we have enough sauce.
Speaking of sauce, we had a pint that we didn't can up. We used that for lasagna one night.

We planted a bit of late squash over by the barn and it started coming in. We had fried squash for dinner one night, because it's Cupcake's favorite.

Later in the week we noticed the chickens had started flying into the pear trees and eating the pears right on the limb. So Cupcake picked a sack full of pears early one morning before we let the birds out. It ended up weighing nearly 80lbs. We made twelve pints of jelly (24 jars of jelly, if we could find jelly jars, but we cant) and still only used half the pears we have. Cupcake tried spiced pear jelly on a whirlwind trip for HCA last year, and had her heart set on our very own pears being turned into spiced jelly. So we did, and it's awesome. We don't believe the pears will go to waste, probably more jelly in the coming week.

A couple of pond related things this week. Our big announcement should be ready by the next update, but for now a teaser.

And we have a regular visitor. We've seen him two weeks in a row.

We ended the week with wings but we missed our nap.
