Recess

Just wanted to post some pictures of some of the kid outside during recess. 

The first one is of Joseph before his nap.  

Freezing Pears

Well, we are unable to make the pear wine at this time.  We still need a couple of things, and we decided to just freeze the pears we collected over the weekend.

The other pears that we had saved were fed to Mary Rosetta, the Jersey calf, and the chickens.

So, I will be taking some pictures of the process which will hopefully begin in about 45 minutes.  We are still eating breakfast and need to get the kitchen cleaned up before we begin!

I will be back in a little bit with pictures!

May God bless you all.

So, we decided to just add sugar and nutmeg to our pears then place them in the freezer for 3 hrs and then put inside freezer bags.  We will be using the frozen pears for pear cobbler or crisps.  I found this quick recipe here on you tube. 

We have 2 pans, and we would have had more, but the kids decided they needed to sample the pears before putting them into the freezer.  In one picture you can see Teresa doing her school work and eating a pear.

In the other pics you can see Trinity putting sugar and nutmeg onto the pears and there is one with Wesley Thomas giving his thumbs up approval on Trinity's job!

 Oh, and the boys found a frozen frog on Tuesday morning.  We had to take a picture of that!

Have a blessed day!
