This past weekend was pretty busy for me. Being a few days removed from it and now I can't recall all the details. Boo! There was a successful deer hunt. Yay! Meat for the freezer. We spent a lot of time on Sunday processing and freezing venison. I have no pictures. Sorry.
On Saturday my husband and son dug the carrots out of the garden. Some of our bigger carrots.
I spent Sunday afternoon, into the evening, cutting and blanching carrots. My feet were pretty sore by the end of the day.
A peek into the messiness of preserving ... I was watching, mostly listening, to Warehouse 13. I forgot how much I like this show.
I forgot to weight the carrots. It was around 15 pounds. Weird weather also happened. It alternated snowing and raining.
Sunday afternoon the sun starting breaking through the clouds. It was minutes at a time, though. My area is set to receive more oddball weather tonite. The rest of this week is supposed to be sunny.
If you don't like how the sky looks, just change directions.
In other news ... we have baby buns in the house.
Getting them used to people. Right now they mostly snuggle with each other.
Welcome back! Thanks for visiting with me today. Grab your favorite drink and come sit a spell.

Spinning Taking part of the Spin Together, spinning challenge. It's running Oct. 6-12. I'm working on four pounds-plus of fiber. The end goal is to spin a sweater for my husband. I haven't done any spinning in September. So I'm a bit out of practice. I've got two bobbins done.
Coffee talk I'm still recovering from illness. Nothing really going on in the kitchen. We've been living off easy to make foods. I did feel well enough to go sit out in the deer blind for a bit. Haven't done any reading. Hoping to rectify that soon. The audio-only version of the podcast is now available on Itunes and the Google Play store. I feel like I have arrived!
