We fed the chickens, collected eggs, picked apples, basil and parsley.
To our surprise, there were even a few raspberries – yum!
While I was collecting basil leaves, Ev walked up and handed me a slimy, wet snail. Thanks, son. He kept wanting to play with the hose. Even though it was only like 65 degrees, I gave in and let him play while we worked.
He had a great time drinking the water and letting out a big “Aaaah!” when he was done.
After about 10 minutes, his jaw started chattering so we knew he was ready to go in. I wrapped him in a towel and followed up with a warm bath from Grandma Carol.
While my mom and Ev took a nap, I made an apple crisp,
a huge pot of home made applesauce,
and dehydrated a batch of basil and parsley.
The house smelled wonderful. It was a great day. All we need to do now is figure out what to do with the rest of the apples!
Time to get busy dehydrating some more! I had been craving a creative outlet, and this satisfied the need. I am really missing my kitchen.

You are the little Molly Good job working so hard!
What a fun day! I wish I had a garden! Maybe I should go clear out the little section of weeds in my yard that is supposed to be the garden & actually plant something in it!
