Fun stuff from the the last week

Matt left for work in Pelly Crossing last Thursday, but the boy and I have managed to keep ourselves busy. Most of the time has been spent dealing with the heaps of fruit I brought back from our trip south. I still have some apples that I need to make into pies, and a few peaches left but they are getting a bit mushy. I made my first peach pie last night and it wasn't too bad.

A friend lent me this steamer. You put the fruit in the top and out the hose comes the juice. What an awesome gadget. These are apples in here and I made 20 1/4pints of apple jelly. Very tasty!


I love dried pears, so I borrowed this huge dehydrator from a friend and the last of my 20 lbs of pears is in it right now.


All of the cranberries that I had in the freezer were easily turned into juice. I had to freeze the juice though, not enough jars to make jelly. Have to wait until after the next trip to town.


Mr. Mashed Potato Head:


Going out to play on the deck. I blocked off the stairs with a sheet of plywood and the bbq. I leave to door open to the house and he just goes back and forth playing out there and the living room.
