Week 45-November 4- November 10, 2024

Our Zelensky overfloweth!

Our quince tree is finally big enough to produce fruit! It is a bit taller than I am. Dad replanted it several years ago after it died under the shade of the Douglas fir trees that our neighbor to the west planted -basically- on the property.  

Dad picked all of the quince, and we spent all day Monday making quince jam which is impressively delicious.

Here's more than a year's worth of jam.

Wait - there's more.  Warren wanted to make apple juice - he found a source of apples, at the Powell's, up the road.  Along with our apples out in the orchard and with a small press he rented, we made apple juice.

Warren canned 55 quarts and we did 16!

Jane, Holland, and Copeland came over one day and played "Bunnies".

Haley had an appointment to get her cut and brought Jamie over.  He loves crawling and cruising all around.  He is just tall enough to get into a lot of mischief!

Over the summer Dad did amazing things in the flower beds around the perimeter of the house. One of the beds, closet to the southern end of greenhouse #8, had expanded over the years and needed a reduction.  He cleaned it up really nicely, planted grass seed, and now there are results.

The Primary Sacrament Presentation was today - a lot of enthusiastic singing.

What better way to end a blog than with cat photos.

Jack likes to go into the woods with me and is always very helpful.

He also likes to cuddle in anyone's lap.
