Today I started a batch of applesauce in the crock pot, went to work, came home and the house smelled wonderful. Did another batch of applesauce on the stove top and will mix them together and can them
If you're doing it with fresh apples, save your peels and cores. Boil them down & strain the solids and you have the makings for some killer apple jelly. If you have fresh mint, and a generous handful in a cheesecloth bag while you're boiling the juices ... mint jelly. Or add a cup or so of cinnamon candies (the little red-hots.) That stuff is amazing on a cream-cheesed bagel!

We would not eat apple jelly or mint jelly. And I can't have those cinnamon candies, I'm allergic to fake cinnamon. I did save the scraps to make my own ACV, I do every year
 
Helped Hubby repressurize our fresh water storage tank. We check the pressure yearly.
Started to bush-hog a field, only went a few a few feet and got a flat tire. The wild Plum bushes have long strong thorny spines. Luckily it was a steering tire, it's easier for Hubby to repair.
Going in, will eventually crochet.
 
Pulled up the bean and gourd plants and hauled them out of the garden. May they compost in peace.
Helped hubby replace the metal bucket that was propping up the tongue of the trailer that is the chickens' coop.
Pulled 2 buckets of weeds.
Gathered some pine needles for fuel for the bee smoker.

Way back when, I used to use old denim pants for smoker fuel. With all the fire retardant additives now, I gave that up. Nowadays I don't even use a smoker on the bees.
