It has been such a hot week! We had heat warnings a couple of days this week, with the heat index of 105-110. So needless to say, not much got done outside!
I thought the hens had stopped laying because of the heat. Turns out, they were laying, they were just hiding them in one of the flower gardens!
That’s not even all of it! We had a corn husking party. Our four kids, a nephew and my husband gathered around the table to work. I put on music, and started getting the canning supplies ready. They made pretty quick work of it. Let’s not talk about what the flour looked like when they were done!
We ate corn for 3 meals, I put 30 ears in the freezer, and I canned the rest. I got 22 quarts and 1 pint.
I love my pressure canner!
Thanks to the groundhog for chewing through the vine, we had to eat a cantaloupe.
It was pretty small. It was very pretty inside.
I didn’t try any, I gave mine to the kids. My husband tasted it and said it was good, just not quite ripe. It was ripe enough to eat, but could have used a couple more days. The kids loved it, and didn’t even notice that it wasn’t quite ripe.
There’s another cantaloupe out there, hopefully the groundhog has had it’s fill of cantaloupe vine!
It’s time for the Saturday on the Farm Carnival!
