What is Happening at Our House -8/21/26 (we got free stuff, harvesting, varmits, and a mini vacation)

 

We stopped at a church that was having a free trunk sale.  Everything was free in their trunk- kind of like Trunk or treating.  We got a new fishing rod plus some books and tea.  We had fun and so did the people giving it away!  

We took a mini vacation (cheaper that way) and stopped in Fishtown, Michigan.   An old town built on the waterfront.  It was very cool to visit.  We recommend the Cove resturant -Fresh fish and chips.  Delicious.

Back to work -We came home and picked a mess of beans.  

That involved stringing and breaking them up.  We saved a few seeds too while we were at it.  Because of the drought and the groundhog we don't expect too many more beans out of the garden.  I believe that varmit ate all our greasy beans.

In other wildlife news:

How can there be only two apples left in our whole apple tree?  In order to answer that you would need to talk to the squirrel family.  One day I looked and the whole tree had been wiped clean except for two apples.  They will probably be gone before it's over.

I keep thinking about how if we had to live on what we grow -between the drought and varmits...well I would be a lot smaller...just saying. 

I did can 6 pints of spaghetti sauce.  I have not done this before so I believe I'll have to doctor it up when I make spaghetti. LOL

How's it going at your house?
