Winter is here...

 Not much has been happening.  The weather is cold one day and warm the next.  These elk are keeping warm eating someone's hay.  



The sunrises have been pretty.  Dollor makes sure I am up early to see them.  

The full moon was sure something.  I didn't need a flashlight.  The reflection off of the snow made it seem like daylight.

Did you see the full moon?  Are you ready for the holidays?

End of the year...

 I don't have much to say or show.  I spent all weekend butchering a deer and making wine.  I am exhausted and my back is killing me.  It will all be worth it when next weekend I'm sipping some cherry wine and enjoying a meal made from venison.  In two days, I ended up with 16 bottles of sour cherry wine and 3 bottles of dandelion wine.  I had 5 lbs of jerky, 6 cans of stew meat, and 10 lbs. of venison burger.  

I am officially done processing food for 2025.  I've canned and frozen food from the garden.  Dried herbs and froze pesto.  Made jelly and preserves from fruits and berries.  Bottled wine from berries on our property.  Venison has been frozen, canned, jerked, and smoked. 

That super moon was really something.  I didn't need a flashlight walking Dollor at night.  Did you see the supermoon?  What did you process this year?
