Miss P and I journeyed around the property this afternoon and found that we have home grown fruit in our future. I love the fruit trees because we don't really have to do anything for them. Did you hear that? NO WEEDING for all this fruit! We won't mention the state of the garden. No, let's not go there.apples
pears
plums
grapes
We also found that part of a tree had fallen in the middle of one of our paths. I guess we get firewood too!
We look forward to a busy August of harvest, food preservation, and fire wood cutting. Yeehaw.Do you have any exciting weekend plans? The kids will all be here for the Fourth and we've planned a cookout with smores!
Apple Time
We're making applesauce!
A Visit to the Farm
P's preschool class visited the farm yesterday. I did notice a few differences from our place. Look at those apples!
The trees were loaded.
I could make a lot of sauce from all those blemish free apples.
The farmer helped each child pick a few apples.
After looking at the beehives, learning about bees, and having a hay ride we went to the pumpkin patch to choose pumpkins.
It didn't take miss P long to find the PERFECT pumpkin.
