Made some persimmon bread yesterday from a recipe I've had for awhile.
Put them in the big oven and baked them, came out just right. Then found
a good recipe for persimmon bread in Beth Hensperger's bread machine
recipe book. Made a banana nut bread today. All are for the Altar
Society bake sale on Saturday and Sunday. Ladies there generally get a
good price for my dessert breads and cookies. Miz Anne is going to make
a couple of persimmon pies tomorrow for the same sale.

Rest of the persimmons are still ripening on an old towel on the counter
in the kitchen. Three or four every day and then I pulp them and package
them. Another friend called today and offered us another bucket of them.
Couldn't handle anymore as we already have about fourteen cups in the
freezer and at least that much more ready to ripen. That is a year's
supply for us.

From the looks of the fall garden we will pick green beans again
tomorrow to blanch and freeze. Never have enough green beans at our
house. It's amazing what a ten foot row of beans can produce over a
two-month period.

It is getting cold down here today and tonight. Would someone please
close the gate between us and Canada.
