The Cool, Crisp Autumn Air

Huckleberry Heaven

Fall is my favorite time of year. So nice to end the hot summer and to enjoy the cool, crisp autumn air in the mornings - of course that means the "bum warmer" is on in the truck and the heater at 90* because I refuse to stop wearing capris, skirts, sandals and flip-flops to school!

We are finally slowing down with our canning adventure. We did huckleberry syrup, chokecherry jelly & syrup, peach jelly & syrup, fruit leather, salsa and now we are working on apples for apple pie filling and bottling pears. WOW what a year!!! Hey, I know you are all jealous because if it comes down to living on our food storage - WE WILL BE ON AN ALL TIME SUGAR HIGH!

Of course we are on the all-time natural high now....HUNTING!!! Jeremiah is all excited because he as spotted a big bull. Phi was almost ecstatic when he saw a herd of elk on public land that were really close...too bad he was in Wyoming:( He also saw a buck about 20 yards from his pickup when he was at the motel in Kemmerer. Taylor is going to come up this weekend and do some hunting. I would definitely say that there is Buck Fever around here....
