It was a big push yesterday when things suddenly picked up but thanks to a lot of help from friends and their extra trailers we got all the animals out safely. 🤞they get things under control soon and we have a place to come back to.

Our very first batch of plums are coming in nicely. We planted this Green Gage tree two years ago in the orchard. It’s exciting to see our plans finally starting to come to fruition.

Our Drake was wandering about by himself, which never happens. After some searching Kayleigh found this lady on a nest of 10 duck and 2 chicken eggs. I’ve got an incubator ready in case she abandons the nest at some point but we’re going to let her try. 🤞 we get some ducklings out of it.

Kenzie is becoming quite the little helper in the kitchen. She pulled up a chair and asked how she could help when I grabbed the cranberries from the freezer. Got a bit distracted when we were zesting oranges, wandered off to eat the ones I’d finished with, but it was pretty much done by then. I present Kenzie’s first Cranberry sauce.

We’ve had a bumper crop of apples so I’ve had to explore new ways of utilizing them. The kids and I have been hard at work peeling, coring, slicing and canning 12 jars of Apple Pie filling today. It barely made a dent 😂

We didn’t plan it that way but each of our girls have bonded really well with one of the cats we got as mousers. And while they do catch the occasional mouse, or frog, their primary role has become child companion. Well Kenzie’s cat Creamsicle went missing almost two weeks ago while we were down visiting family for my cousins baby shower. There’d been no sign of him and I was getting ready to have the talk with her explaining he may not be coming back. Then last night I heard the most pitiful meow at the back door. He was back! A little skinny but otherwise fine. They were so happy to be reunited. *throwback pic from the early days of their friendship*.

Collected a whole shirt full of green tomatoes off the ground after our tomato project yesterday. Found a recipe and I’m going to try my hand at green tomato salsa. I’ll update with how it turns out

Sometime it feels like the universe is listening and gives you exactly what you ask for, and not in a good way. I’ve commented more than once in the last week that I need to clean out the fridge but hadn’t gotten to it yet and wouldn’t you know the fridge conked out on us last night. Well, it got cleaned out. 😂 Thankfully it was back up and running this morning after giving it some time to defrost. And I’ve been meaning to get serious in the garden for a while now, it’s been experiencing some neglect in the weeding department particularly, and we’re expecting lows in the mid 30’s tonight. So into the garden I went today hoping to salvage what I can in case it gets to the low 30’s. Harvested a nice crop of winter squash but we’ve been gardening up here for 4 years now and I’ve yet to get a tomato crop due to frost. So this year we’re trying something different. On Kens recommendation we pulled the tomato plants full of green tomatoes and hung them in the greenhouse. 🤞They’ll ripen in there like he says.
