sorry I have missed a few days but I'll try to catch you up on some of the things going on.  Last week was a very long week for work and this week is looking like it may be the same - unfortunately that doesn't mean you make a lot of money it just means that some days are crammed with work and other days not so much.  Saturday I got to meet up with a friend and we picked crab apples.  Her husband met us at the tree and he picked and shook the tree so we could glean the apples.  The woman who owns the tree didn't want the apples but wanted to be sure the apples were put to good use.  Apple juice is in my future.  Then we went to my friend's house and she loaned me her steam juicer and gifted me rhubarb and some more apples. 


Yesterday I went in search of a missing lamp post and a sidewalk.  Hopefully I can upload those pictures  -  in our area once you get hedges to grow they grow like crazy - this hedge was trimmed back last year I think.


Today was spent with some plums from two weeks ago - they are now plum sauce and with the exception of one jar that didn't seal (will reprocess that jar) that project is complete.  Rhubarb has been turned into sauce for cookies and some rhubarb sauce for the canner.  As soon as the rhubarb is in the canner I'll be moving on to the apples.


Update on the pictures - still can't load the pictures so I'll post them over on facebook so some can catch them there.
