Beautiful Weather

Finally, a day with cool temps and low humidity.  We were up nice and early for our walk and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise.  As we walked, we saw signs of the coming autumn--leaves beginning to turn and flocks of geese heading south.

John and I decided to make grape juice today, so following breakfast, we got busy with the preparations.  John took care of stripping the grapes off the stems while I got the jars, lids, and other canning items ready.  We worked all morning and got 21quarts made by lunchtime and then had to take a break as I had a PT appointment in town.  When we returned home, we got back to work and made three more batches of juice ending up with a grand total of 45 quarts.

Our sale ad hit the first paper today and we have already received a couple of calls concerning the truck and machinery.  Hopefully that's a good sign that folks are interested in what we have for sale.
