I've Done It Again

Nothing like not posting for 3 months.

The garden did great this year. This was in August.

Our daughter C in AZ. got to visit us the last half of July for a week. Really nice.

We have been in a Indian summer with a couple of cold snaps and frosts this month.  The weather changing again this weekend. Snow at 3900 feet. We are at 4000. The garden is harvested and the fruit trees. Things are canned up except for having to do more plums. We have also given some away. The 2 trees were just packed this year and we got more cherries as well. We managed to even get some of the Elder berries before the birds got them all and made a batch of jelly from those. Applesauce was made of course.


We got a good amount of potato's as well. Shared some. :)

Onions set to dry and then powder. The greens as well from quite a few.
Carrot tops as well. Powdered as well and also beet tops to add to soups.

Our sunflowers



 The wood is in for the winter and some cut to dry for next winter.






We even managed to make a front for the wood shed area of the barn lean-to.

Son D and grandson A came in the beginning of Oct. They helped to put part of a fence back up and the gate in again.

Plus get a load of wood out of the woods the day before.
The summer yard furniture has been out away as well. 

There are still a few things left to do before hard winter but we're getting there.
