Day #23

Back to work on the barn.

Today we put on some typar on the front and then put the siding on top of that. We also had to stop and make a run to the hardware store for the four side pieces.

It needs a good cleaning but can't complain about the price "free".

Madison loves to help cook. So with nothing to do on a rainy day she decided to make some blueberry turnovers.

Raspberry Bushes

This year we didn't get many raspberries. I got a late start to weeding them and pruning them. So we decided on Saturday to go down and spend some work on them. So we cut them back and spent about three hours pulling weeds and then we started one wheelbarrow after another of rabbit poop to dump around them. Well after five hours we got half the row done. On Sunday we picked up were we left off. And after about four or five hours of more weeding and rabbit poop we got the rest of the row down and it looks great. So now we sit back and see if we get a good crop next year.

Blueberry Jam

Last night Arron and I made blueberry jam for the first time. Here's what we came up with. We ran out of small jar's so the big jar in the back was a little under half full. So the kids are going to have it on their english muffins tomorrow.
