I haven't been in my sewing room in over a week. Empty freezers and all the apples we picked last week have taken priority.
The dehydrator has been going non-stop for a week and it's not done yet
Wednesday was applesauce making day. I know there are ways to make applesauce without peeling the apples, but those methods I've seen require you run everything through a mill or seive and I have neither. But those methods also produce smooth applesauce and my family likes a more rustic applesauce so I peel apples...lots and lots of apples. Until one day, when I am unable to and then I will break down and buy a food mill and they will have to get used to smooth applesauce. 😉
But it'll all be worth it and the house smells heavenly
Then we've been spending long days scouting the surrounding area for game. Hunting season hasn't begun yet, but you have to learn the country and have some idea of where the animals are living. DH drew tags for antelope, deer, and elk. We're hoping he'll have a successful season because we need to fill our freezers.
Soon after we left home on Sunday at 5:30, the full moon was just slipping behind the mountains
One day
13 hours
260 miles
Miles and miles of brilliant blue skies
Lots of glassing
And Some pretty country...being spoiled by wind turbines. Don't get me started.
And one really cool volcanic rock that DH brought back to show me when he walked back from glassing over that railroad track
We are rockhounds and bringing me a neat rock pretty much makes my day. A few years back he brought me this metate he found on the ranch and it's one of my favorite things
We've been spending a lot of time exploring and then coming home hungry and not wanting to cook. At least we now have applesauce. LOL.
