We picked a peck of peppers this week. Probably a couple three pecks.
The Dudley Twins hung out with us while we were in the garden, they even helped a little.
Willow found she likes peppers
While Augustus stuck with the tried and true pear
Sunday morning after the family breakfast, we got busy making jalapeno jelly.
We had two full cookings of peppers, three batches per cook, three pints per cook. We ended up with 18 jars of jelly. We had everything done, kitchen cleaned and a nap under our belt in under four hours.
Earlier in the week we stocked some more minnows, this time in the big pond.
The DT's went along with. They love the ponds as much as we do.
We were down by the bee hives with the DT's when they went exploring. They found the back side of the creek, which is down over a steep bank. While they were down in the creek, we saw we have a whole new spring flowing. Since Lawman was a wee lad, this creek bed had been dry.
We're guessing the water table is higher than it's ever been? You can't have enough fresh water when the government collapses or the zombies come, so we're cool with it.
Food wise, Cupcake requested a choco cake this week. Lawman had one in the oven ten minutes after she asked for one. He asked if Crazy Granny could get a cake in the oven that fast, and Cupcake said "Shit, she couldn't get the Duncan Hines box open in ten minutes"
No box cakes here at The Acre.
Cupcake cut up and fried some Mexican chips, tortillias cut and fried, then sprinkled with sugar powder.
Then she made patty melts another night.
And she made them while wearing her new sweatshirt
We ended the week with wings, and a nap.
