At the end of August we had a visit from a black bear that lives on our property across the stream. He came to eat the suet that I had put out for the birds. He didn't really hurt anything and went back over the stream when Joe chased him. Such a beauty he was and a reminder that we live in God's Woods here!
In September we canned a lot of produce here at Twin Haven! God provided and I preserved it :) I made salsa, jellies, jams, pickles, relishes, apple butter, apple sauce, pear sauce, ketchup, tomato juice, marinara sauce, stewed diced tomatoes and more.
Wow, that was a lot of canning!!! I think I went through about 4 bushels of tomatoes, a bushel of apples, a bushel of cucumbers, 1/2 bushel of pears and peaches. Everyone loves everything that I canned, so it was time well spent! I need to close here for now but will post more tonight. I'm taking to boys to see Happy Feet 2 in 3D today.
