Apple squeezing time !

10/1/2012

2 Comments

 
Happy Monday !! With an almost full compliment heading down to the barn yesterday hopes were high that every apple and pear still overlooked (or too high for the  insatiable appetite of Doris the Destroyer and her avaricious band of garden ravagers ) would be plucked, peeled cored and squeezed ready for a multitude of various sizes and shapes of plastic bottles which have been carefully saved and stored for this specific purpose almost since last year.

Doris and her dastardly band have become more adventurous of late, all the clues point to an area not far from the garden limit which is the breakfast room. Just over the pasture, another flattened area which is almost certainly their bedroom and right behind the house, the small pond affords a delightful resting place where they can digest all the scrumptious goodies they have snaffled from the garden through the previous night. Fish and Wildlife have been amazing….so helpful…. so  inspirational …..Tolerance !! So, as we watch a healthy 2 prong buck and a nice chubby doe  (and how did they get so chubby and healthy ???) munching their way through my tomatoes, squash, kale (already gone) etc they apparently appreciate the extra light afforded by the high beam spotlight which clearly illuminates all the goodies they haven’t yet found. Doe !!!…..I mean…DOH !!!!

After squeezing and squashing bushels of fruit Malc was noted to mumble…..don’t think we even got a taste of last year’s. There is a very good reason for that…Carla is a wonderful taster…and an even more wonderful imbiber !! I

I’ve run out of time..so many more stories to tell !!!

Take care, keep safe, M
