Farm Friday

This week was fun, but we didn't do too much. On Monday we picked the apples from our grandparents' tree, which held about a bushel. We processed most of the apples into chunky applesauce today. After tasting the unsweetened applesauce from those apples, it makes you wonder just what that stuff called unsweetened applesauce at the grocery store really is. I'm hoping that the rest of the apples will be dried for use in fried pies.

On Tuesday we were blessed with a soaking rain for most of the day. The ditches were flowing and the creeks were rushing with all of the rain we got.

On Wednesday we took the last heifer to the stockyard, but I'm still waiting on the results. I'm out of the cattle business for a while now.

On Thursday I got the brooder ready for broiler chicks, which are scheduled to arrive next Friday, and that afternoon some good friends came for a visit.

Have a great weekend,
