It's like a dream, having so many apples that we have enough for applesauce, pie, cider & everything else we want to make. A dream that started years ago when we planned the orchards & planted tiny bare root trees. #harvesttime #homesteaddreams #growyourownfood

We turned some of the grape harvest into these fun grape gummies. If you don't have a candy mold, just pour them into a pan and then cut them to shape.

Save those pits and make some cherry pit vodka!
Use this as a substitute for cherry or almond extracts in baking. You can also use it like kirsch in fondue, cherries jubilee, or chocolates.

On April 25, 1976, during a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, two protestors ran onto the field and tried burning an American flag.
Cubs center fielder Rick Monday quickly ran over and grabbed the flag to save it before the protestors could light it on fire. His quick action was met with a standing ovation from the crowd.
When asked later about the incident, Monday said: "If you're going to burn the flag, don't do it around me. I've been to too many veterans' hospitals and seen too many broken bodies of guys who tried to protect it."
Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

These strawberry vanilla preserves are wonderful on pancakes or ice cream. Easy to make & a little bit different than plain strawberry jam.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a well stocked root cellar this fall?
