What's been happening on the farm.

I cannot believe that it is almost December already!  I also can't believe that I haven't blogged since August but we have been busy so.............I'll try to catch us up to date by memory and with the help of dated pictures. lol






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.
