Celebratin' 4th of July!
Cats trying to stay warm during our brief and somewhat cool early summer
Still gotta mow the lawn though!
Summer living means lots of garden work, food preserving,
and outside time. Whenever we were in town we manically tended the garden and
the crops. It was an abundant summer for us and we are super thankful! Not all
of the items are pictured but we made: bread and butter pickles, dill pickles,
tomaisins (sun gold tomato “raisins”), apple butter, pear-plum-apple jam,
pear-plum-apple fruit leather, tomato bisque. Not to mention, our onions are
hanging to dry and three different types of potatoes are in storage in the basement, we have boxes of pears still and another pear tree that is
ready for being harvested… in addition to ample plums waiting for us. Zucchinis
are eaten at every meal, strawberries every morning for breakfast, and green
beans once a week or so. We have more zukes and cukes growing up, as well as a plethora
of tomatoes of different varieties. The winter squashes are getting stronger
and the leeks look great too, as autumn approaches.
