Canning Day...

I have these two beautiful pie pumpkins, purchased last time I was in Portage. I got them from my favorite farm stand.

Today, I'm going to halve, clean, roast, purée, and pressure can them to have for future pumpkin pies or other pumpkin treats. Yes. It's considered a "rebel method", but the Amish have done it (among others) for years, and it's safe, so I'm doing it.

Handsome is feeling a bit better, but I'm making him take it easy, so I'm going to figure out a nice treat for him for dinner while I'm at it. 

It's absolutely gorgeous outside, so I may decide to spend some time outdoors later, too. I'll let you know tomorrow.

It's been a little chaotic around the farmhouse lately. I'm sorry you've been caught up in it. Rest assured all will be revealed soon. (Don't worry. It's all good!)

I'm sorting fabric to send or donate, and I've been staging things to keep, too. I'm a bit more motivated right now, because I need the space upstairs.  

Multiple trips up and down stairs are sprinkled with breaks for tea, water, or Tylenol. Then, I realize I again forgot to share a post. I know there are a lot of bloggers who just quit or got lazy so they post sporadically. Trust that neither is the case here. I'll be back tomorrow. I promise. 

Everybody's Working For The Weekend...

The last time this happened, Handsome and I were just dating. When he still thought he would be going to Florida, he lamented that we'd miss being together to watch the Brewers play in the World Series like last time.

Now, the silver lining in his catching my cold is that he'll be home. Plus, it looks like they'll be playing the only other team we would have cheered for if the Brewers weren't in it. 

This is going to be fun! Now to get my guy healthy so we can really cheer on our team!
