Canning Time

We canned 22 quarts of stewed tomatoes with green peppers, onions, celery and garlic yesterday. Mmm Good!

Smoked Pig Shoulder

Had an enjoyable supper with Mom and Dad, the menu consisted of Smoked Pork Shoulder, Potato Salad, Baked Beans and Pineapple Cake for dessert.

The wood is cut/split/stacked

It started in early fall cutting wood and staging for splitting later, cutting continued into the winter and then splitting started.  Today with the neighbors (Harold) help we finished splitting and stacking all the wood I have cut.  My best guess is we have 16 face cord/5.3 cord cut, split and stacked.  Hopefully by next fall we will be able to get the chimney lined and stove installed and start burning wood.
