I froze (after boiling) about 30 bags of squash, so Donna will have squash once a week all winter. The zucchini are usually so well camouflaged that they are easily overlooked until they are huge. But we have a recipe for a zucchini boats that uses big ones and now I can't get enough of the overgrown size. The zucchini is cut in half length-wise for the boat and after the seeds are scooped out, the inside is stuffed with any meat mixture of one's choosing. Yum!
I was in and out of the hospital in the spring when the apple trees should have been sprayed, so I wasn't expecting much. I didn't even know that there was still an appletree left stand near where the garage was before the fire. I thought that there was only the one that had been cut down. but nope, there's still one up front and another that I know about in the yard. They both produced quite a bid, considering their condition, and I've been eating fresh made apple pie! The tree trimmers are coming soon and the main apple tree is on the list of trees to be pruned. I had several apple trees when I owned the "Appletree Inn" and those trees produced like crazy the year after they were pruned.
The arrival of winter is inevitable and the coach is ready. Nothing like a nice wax job to keep the black streaks from sticking over the winter!
There is a post-camp meeting tomorrow to discuss 4C-Camp for Adults. Camp was held at the end of August and cut short by an evening an a day by the approaching hurricane Irene. We had the coach parked and plugged in at camp and I'm ready to go again! This trip was Donna's first experience pulling the camper on the road and she did great. The coach bucked a bit, probably because I'm out of practice hooking up. But I'll be ready for next year.
Now, for the long boring winter... what to do.... oh year, cut and split a few more cords of wood for a start... That will keep me warm and busy!
Happy Fall!
