The local newspaper came today to do a story on the season and take pictures.\u00a0\u00a0 We were bottling so there was something to show.\u00a0\u00a0 In a \u201cnormal\u201d season we would have been busy with collecting, cooking and bottling. The third week of March is usually among the busiest of a normal season.\u00a0 With this early season we don’t have much to show since we are pretty much done.\u00a0\u00a0 It was nice of the reporter and photographer to come.<\/p>\n
Into the woods by 10:30 AM.\u00a0 Picked up limb wood.\u00a0\u00a0 There were several pieces we have walked over for two season now so it was good to get that picked up.\u00a0\u00a0 It makes good firewood so there is no reason to let it decay in the woods when we can use it.<\/p>\n
By 1:00 PM we emptied a milk can into the finishing pan.\u00a0\u00a0 By 2:30 PM when the reporter came we were ready to bottle.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We bottled 15 quarts and 1 pint.\u00a0 We have about 47 gallons so far for the season with one milk can left to finish and bottle.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By 4:00 PM we were back to the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
