And harvest begins
Put up 20 lbs of dill pickles, a dozen vac-sealed and blanched bags of
green beans, and have cooked down 7 gals of apples to about 4, with a bit more reduction to go for apple butter. We've allowed the neighbours to pick a lot of the apples, but I'll be picking the top of the trees shortly, and we'll be making applesauce and dehydrating the rest of the week... Duck season opens in a week! Then geese, moose, deer... and elk. Let sausage and jerky making season begin! -- ³Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever.² -- Aristophanes |

Fire on shot and I'm in trouble. Been thinking about a new bow with a night sight. Naw, I've never broken a game law and not intending to at my age. I've eaten all of those meats due to the largesse of friends who go off into other states and hunt. Wild game is my favorite meat when I can get it. Maybe I'll go squirrel hunting in the state forest soon. Take my trusty single shot .22 rifle and see if I can get a limit of squirrels for gumbo or stew or both. Good luck with the hunting Dave, I envy the hunting but not the cold. George |
