My Weekend........

........ consisted of making 18 quarts of applesauce, 7 quarts and 7 pints of peaches, 9 pints of crab apple jelly (which failed due to lack of instruction reading) 4 loaves of zucchini bread to freeze, and mixing up some muffin mix to have on hand. No bike riding, no hiking, no running, not much outdoor time besides picking my apples. Now I am back to work for 3 nights with a pounding headache and exacerbated allergies. Next week 40lbs of pears should be ripened and ready to can, more apples will be picked for apple pie filling and dehydrating in between soccer matches and football games and I think I will make some time for a hike, run, or bike ride or I may go crazy and no-one wants that :-) Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall we are having.

Domestic Diva! I am so impressed. Maybe the crab apple jelly could be syrup. :)

I love to read about all your adventures. Your kids are so lucky to have such a fabulous mom!

I am so proud of you. Maybe a little of me did rub off on you, even though you would be the last to admit it! I can't wait to eat at your house. Yum.
