Farm Report: One tray of peaches, one tray of strawberries, one tray of pineapple, and four trays of apples are dehydrating now! My smoker has been assembled but it’s too windy today to cook clean it. Harvested another bucket of lemon drop peppers and a few jalapenos. The jalapenos will be smoked to make chipotle peppers….
The kitten is reinforcing the NEED to put everything back into it’s place when I’m finished using/looking at/searching for something else and moved it. She is also quite interested in eating all the fall decorations. Silly kitten. I made cinnamon rolls while baking bread yesterday. It’s nice to have fresh ones every now and again. Harvested…
It is technically Autumn around here and there is some visual evidence that the seasons are changing but the leaf colors haven’t changed much yet. We’ve had a couple of cool mornings but it’s not consistently cool yet. Harvested some more of our nice lemon drop hot peppers today. I think we’ll have hot lemon…
