Tutorial Day

Pulp from persimmons

We will start with the persimmons  Since  we Have several trees  ( I wish that anyone who would like to pickup persimmons please come by my house).   I take the caps off of them put them in a colander with your masher work until you have no more pulp coming out.  The persimmons are very nice this year.  Use in a variety of recipes. The persimmon seed in the below picture is a spoon and that means snow by the almanac  Lana at walkingtheoff-beatenpath.just saw her blog and she is looking for apple bread recipe missed placed hers isn't that the way it goes. Lana was talking about maybe they would have some snow   all of the realfarmwivesofamerica.comhttp://www.realfarmwivesofamerica.com/ were given a product of clothing from Carhartthttp://carthartt.com/ she choose the bibs and thought she might need them soon.  If you go to the farmwives blog you can win a pair for yourself  free hurry on over.

The Guys here at the farm all have their own Bibs  me I had a Duster that was long it keep me dry but not always clean.   Now thanks to Carhartt.  Carhartt   I will have my own overalls.    These are waterproof overalls.  What I like about them is that they keep you warm, dry and clean.   You won't sweat like a lot of rain gear.    They have a adjustable waist with Velcros  loops and it has snaps and zippers down the legs.   These are going to work out great for my everyday chores.  I have a Carhartt jacket on this is my second one that I have had for a long time and wouldn't trade it for any of the  seed company  advertising clothes not in the winter Only Carhartt . If you would like to win a Carhartt product of your own head over to the Real FarmwifesofAmericaAndFriends

Zeus and I are going to Therapy training Wed maybe I can take some pictures.    At the Vet's office he weighed in at 148 pounds.  Doc said he wasn't fat and keep feeding him.

Thanks to Carhartt for providing me with these waterproof waist overalls.  These words are my own I enjoy wearing clothing that does what it is designed to do  Carhartt  wears well  for the people who wear them.  This is from the Womens line of clothing.

Last but not least  Keep my Friend and Dairy Lady  Leontien in your prayers. You may not know her ask God to lift her burden.

A trip through my Garage

Prince Albert

I was in the garage drilling holes in gourds as we will have some of the FFA students come to our shop  the honey farm and the fish hatcheries.  I spied  the tobacco can on the work bench I thought I ought to take it into the house.  When I picked it up sure was heavy,   looking into the can  nuts, bolts, little things.  It will stay in the garage with all the other finds. 

 Cool but a beautiful sun shiny day.  We are  hoping  to be done in a few days with beans.
  I hear the rain is to return Monday and Tues.
Tomorrow I will go back to Sellersburg to get 200 gourds for a group of artist who have children and I believe adults paint to place on a 50 foot fir tree in the front yard of their bldg.   If you are interested check out their website   http://www.artsanctuaryindiana.com/m

This Olde House

 This is the old home that my Father-in-law was borne in that was 1914.  Sad to see your history fade away. This was a four room home no indoor plumbing, no running water. very primitive.
