Summer Continued

Harvest is over for another year!  We are thankful for a good and safe one.  Now we are pushing out some of the old blocks of trees and getting ready for new ones next spring.  They will probably be Montmorency or Balaton trees (tart cherries).










I have been busy in the kitchen trying to turn the apricots and cherries into jam and juice.  A3 is a very fast cherry pitter or we would not have frozen cherries and cherry jam!   She also helped with canning apricots.   I was very happy when it was all done!


Enjoy your summer!
