PS:
I am still up to my eyeballs in concord grapes... and from just one vine that I had
left over and stuck in the corner of the garden!
In four years time that grapevine has covered half of two sides of the garden fence.
I borrowed a steamer/juice extractor from a friend and used it to make grape juice concentrate.
After two sessions, yesterday,
(and there are still more grapes to harvest)
I had canned enough concentrate to make 9 gallons of grape juice.
Can you believe it's Friday again?
This weekend is a quiet weekend at home for us.
The weather has become quite fall-like...
so it should be a terrific weekend.
We have special guests coming to the farm on Sunday...
will tell you all about that on Monday.
Have a great weekend...
Oh, and if you might want to serve as a character reference
for dear Milford...please let me know.
(And oh, what a character he is!)
