This is what we've been doing for the last week...
Hay is being cut and baled all over the farm...
Pipe fences are being constructed over on the east side of the farmhouse...
Old barbed wire fencing is gettin' torn down... seems like this fencing business is an on-going thing, as you farmers/ranchers know....
This tractor is probably the best thing that we've ever bought for the farm. It's amazing the amount of work and the different kinds of work that one can accomplish with this little baby...
And me??? Well, let me show you ----
From pickin'...
to ripenin'....
to eatin' !!!!!
I've been puttin' up peach jam the last few days. I've already finished off the first jar by MYSELF. Peach is my absolute FAVORITE of all the jams and jellies! It's my very favorite fruit, too!
This weekend promises fresh PEACH COBBLER and HOME MADE PEACH ICE CREAM!!!
And these peaches are only a drop in the bucket. We've got lots more between me and Dad. We'll be peelin' em and freezin' em this weekend, too, I imagine!
The dadgum birds are trying to peck holes in the peaches, too. I know we gotta share with the animals, but good grief! Cain't somebody learn them birds to eat off the same peach! I mean, every time they come by they wanna peck a different peach! I hung Walmart bags all in the peach trees and also bright shiny CD's, hoping to scare them off. I'm SURE it looks quite trashy (no pun intended). But I guess there's plenty of peaches to go around...
Y'all have a great week! I'll be back with pictures of our yummy peach treats this weekend!
Keep ya gown down!
