Dinner time!

My friend Aly was visiting from Seattle this week.  She took lots of videos on her phone of the farm animals around.  She took this one standing in the barn while the sheep came in to eat dinner.  I actually have never seen this perspective before since I am outside opening the gate for the critters to come in.  I close them out of the barn before I put out the hay to keep fleeces clean.  Otherwise I’d never get any hay in the feeders and all of it on their backs!

Pears

We have these wonderful pears growing on a tree in our front yard.  Not only are they very sweet raw but I plan to dry some of them to preserve the harvest.

I cut them in slices and lay them on wax paper.  I then put them in a deep pan and place a net over them.  Then they sit in the sun and dry naturally.  Depending on how thick you slice them and the temperature of the weather it can take a few days to get thoroughly dry.

They are delicious and chewy and you can then enjoy them all year round!  Yum!
