Cold Snap

 We had a cold snap this week. The past two years we had really good luck with fruit trees, but it looks like this is going to be a "miss" year for us. A warm couple of weeks caused the plum and peach trees to start blooming. Saturday morning we woke up to a ground covering snow, and Sunday we had below freezing temps and plenty of wind. Most of the blooms have fallen off our plum trees, but we really cant complain, we probably have enough jelly to last two generations. We still enjoy making it though.

We have had some wild visitors to The Acre recently. A gang of wild turkey have been passing through on the regular, maybe we can put a couple gobblers in the freezer this year?

The DT's took advantage of the warmer weather this week and got in a little pond time. Augustus has started wading out into the pond and walking along the bank. He wants to be a part of it.

And just before the cold snap, we had a double rainbow over The Acre.

On the food front, we used brand new flour to make a pizza crust. We like it.

We liked the corned beef brisket so well, we picked up a couple more after they went on clearance, Clarence. We cooked one low and slow in stout beer, then sliced it up.

We have enough meat now to last us a couple of weeks at least. We started using it in our Sunday egg casserole.

Lawman used some of it for Sunday gravy, along with 'Cat head biscuits.'

We ended the week with naps and Reuben sammiches.
