A is for Apple

 A is for Apples, 

And apple pie

And twenty-some GALLONS of apple sauce (Maybe we went a little overboard?)

And apple crisp, And dried apples, And apple pancakes, And apple topping on waffles; 
And plans to make apple juice in the near future.
Don't forget homemade caramel dip for apples! That's the best! Last night I tried a peanut butter cream cheese apple dip- that was also pretty fine. :) 

Mom has said for years she appreciates how versatile apples are. This year our early ripening apple tree, a Beacon, was loaded, and so we have been enjoying apples for a few weeks already.

What's your favorite way to use apples?  Click here to leave a comment on the blog and let us know.


Also this is a test post to see if our new email system works. :)  I've got summer adventure pictures that I can't wait to share with you-- just as soon as I have a chance to catch my breath!! Hope you are well.

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
