We had a visitor to The Acre last part of the week. JM is recently retired from Shawshank and took his youngest out for an RV adventure. The adventure brought them through our area, so he stopped in for an overnight on their way home. There is life after Shawshank.
Prior to the visit, we started the week off with part II of our jar barter with the Hall family. We fixed them up some more green beans and Lawman whipped up a pound cake.
We spent almost every evening after the sun went down below the tree line, picking berries. Blackberries are off the hook this year, we may get enough for an entire cooking of BB jelly.
We made our last batch of lime pickles this week. We've officially run out of storage space for pickle jars.
Squash came in, and in a big way. Lawman canned up 36 quarts over the week. We think we're all set in the squash department now.
Then we had beans. Just the beans from our little garden at The Acre yielded two bushel from the last picking. We still have the big patch at the barn to get to this coming week.
The garden is really the best we've done since we started. The corn and tomatoes are already over Cupcake's head.
Somewhere along the way, "The Girl" snuck a selfie in the camera roll, so we included it
Back in the spring, we bought some peaches from "The peach truck" outfit. They take orders then deliver to an area for you to meet them and pick up your fresh picked Georgia peaches. We got one bushel and a couple bags of pecans. They arrived Friday.
Since we were having guests, Lawman made a pecan crusted peach pound cake. It tasted as good as it sounds.
And as we usually do when company from The People's Republic come to visit, we smoked a brisket.
We ended the week sitting around with adult beverages, telling lies about women.
