Havent been online for a long time but I will give a general list why. It has been too long I really miss my online catholic world.
Harvested 11 gallons of tomatoes (lots of watering)
500lbs potatoes (lots of digging and watering )
100lbs of carrots (aim to do better next year for that one)
150lbs of turnips (good enough a nice treat raw with salt)
12 zuccinins
10 squash
4 garbage bags of russian kale (excellent vegi tastes better under snow )
Harvested My own carrot seed, turnip seed, and tomatoe seed
Averaged 1.5 gall of goat milk, 2 gall of cows milk per day and played with cheese making, yogurt making.
Did some horseback riding with the kids, fishing, boating, swimmin, camping, visited our favorite homeschool families.
butchered ducks, chickens, rabbits, goats, moose, fish, and bear
then canned most of them
picked 9 gall of fruit (saskatoons, and raspberries)
ordered alot of apples from the okanagan ( southern part )
they will keep till spring in the cellar
made some apple sauce and pie of course
still running after hubby and 6 kids and managed to order some homeschool supplies and working on structure and housework
made it to one horse show sold a bunch of rabbits and convinced my husband I needed another horse so we are up to 3 and I think 12 hooves that need farrier work is all I can handle at the moment.
Loving reading JOHN SALZA The biblical basis for Tradition and The Sermons of St. Alphonsus Liqouri
We have the white stuff early this year and it got down to 21 below for a few days but were up to zero (celcius) so far over a foot of snow.
Still milking two nannies and waiting for my hens to give me more than 3 eggs per day.
Thats about it other than our sspx priest came 4 times and said mass then we drove 6hrs return to a ukrainian parish (thats what we are)
Oh a family we knew to be NO converted and our now in our area they have 7 kids so its nice to see the traditonal change in them. Very surprized they converted but they do read and research and have always been marian and never got along with charasmatic catholics.
Would love to hear what all else you guys do with your time I never seem to have enough of it.
