What didn't I do this weekend...

 I had a long list of things to do this weekend.  At the top of the list was the house needed a deep cleaning.  I tend to spend every second of the summer outside and cleaning isn't a priority.  I had to spend a day cleaning while the weather was still good and I could open the windows to air things out.  Then today the apples were begging to be picked.  The Harrelson did great and I even had a few on my Zestar trees.  We picked two and a half bushels.

 I set up an apple peeling and slicing station on the picnic table.  I froze eight bags of apple pie filling.  While I was freezing the apples, I pulled out the two pans of roasted tomatoes.  Yesterday, I quartered the few tomatoes my garden produced.  I drizzled them with olive oil and sprinkled garlic salt, orengano, and basil over the top. I roasted them at 325 degrees for three hours.  Then I froze them on the pans and later transfered them to a bag, after eating a few.  They are great on homemade pizza.

 I also transplated Groot, the giant tree, into a better pot.  His was destroyed by the hail. Then my husband and I wrestled him into the house before he freezes.  I brought him home from work, where he was being neglected.  I'm here to tell you, that tree weighs a TON.  I also transplated my herbs into pots and brought them indoors.  There is nothing better than fresh herbs all winter.  The parsley took it pretty hard.

I also rebuilt my outdoor compost bin and worked on the worm composter.  I spread the worm compost in my house plants.

Then, just because the apple peeling and slicing station was still set up, I made some caramel apple jam and an apple crisp.  After that I finally cleaned everything up and called it a day.  I'm going to make apple cider, hard cider, and maybe some fruit roll ups.  Do you have any other suggestions?  

I think next weekend I will digup my garlic and make the olive oil herb ice cubes again.  I loved them last year.  It is amazing how quickly the weekend flies.  I still have a few things to do.  Are you almost finished with your fall to do list?
