This was a very bad time to catch a cold. And darn it, I DID get a flu and pneumonia shot too! I didn’t get the flu or pneumonia, but was in bed two days with a nasty runny nose and a cough. Meanwhile, it rained and rained outside. Luckily, on Saturday, it was sunny and I wasn’t too sick. Ashley’s dad came to help and everyone pitched in and worked on the concrete piers for David and Ashley’s new cabin. Just as the last wheelbarrow was getting mixed, the cement mixer’s drive wheel flew off! But at least David only had to mix one wheelbarrow load by hand.<\/p>\n

Many wheelbarrows of concrete were used to fill all the tubes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next they will start sawing support beams for the floor joists on our bandsaw mill. They purchased the brackets and are ready to attach them to the piers. They are just waiting for a decent day to get started.<\/p>\n

Hondo kept watch while we worked. (Never know if a grizzly bear, wolf, or zombie may happen by!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The garden continues to come in \u2026 very late. I’ve got tons of tomatoes to process and we’re waiting (again) for a sunny, dry day to harvest. We’ve found tomatoes harvested when wet rot quicker. We’ve extracted seed from 25 different varieties so far with another 25 ready to do. We planted lots of different tomatoes this year and most actually turned out wonderful. Even with a terrible growing year.<\/p>\n

I canned up two big batches of spaghetti sauce with meat and will get to work on enchilada sauce next. I use that in a bunch of different recipes. Then it’s on to salsa. For the first time ever I’ve run out of salsa! That won’t happen again. Boy, store-bought salsa just doesn’t cut it with us.<\/p>\n

David applied for a doe tag but didn’t get one. It’s a lottery and his name didn’t get drawn. Oh well, he’ll just have to get us a nice fork-horn buck. They’re my favorite to harvest \u2014 big and tender. Ashley put up a game camera in a clearing down from their cabin, and already got pictures of a doe and fawns plus a fork buck. It’s cool to see who’s been hanging around and when. One year, Bill’s friend got a picture of a wolf trotting by with a deer leg in its mouth. That was different! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
