Today

was Mim's cross country meet, her time improved by 40 seconds...a real improvement. Since it was a home meet, me and the wee ones helped manage the course for all the races. Ve and Tuki ran the mile fun run for elementary students. All three ran hard and did a good job. Once we came home, I canned 2 quarts of yellow beans, 4 pints of plum jam, set up the start of the plum wine, and tasted while moving the apricot wine. In addition I am baking about 20 some loaves of plum bread for the freezer. So far we have about 40 some loaves of blueberry and peach bread and now another 20 plus and tomorrow I plan to bake another 20 some more loaves of pear bread.....did I say that we love this bread...it is our weekend treat. Besides the pear bread tomorrow, we will can more pickles, pickled summer squash and start the pear wine, and freeze peppers. Next week our 1/2 beef should be ready for pick up, so our freezers are filling up once again for the winter. It feels good to know that things will quiet down for a while, just like I get excited when things heat up in the spring.
