The university has a mid-semster break built into the schedule, right around midterms. This weekend was that break. We had visitors for a bit of that time. The friend I have known longest in this world (outside of family) came for a visit, with her mother. My mom came out as well, so we were all able to catch up.
We went to see my husband's show - very good. And we spend some time in Cooperstown, looking at architecture, taking a ride on the Glimmerglass Queen, and enjoying perfect Autumn weather.

After our guests left, I got caught up on some chores. We spent yesterday setting some hay by for the winter. We loaded and unloaded about 50 bales - the first of many trips to our local hay farmer. We also harvested good number of wild grapes from the farm. Although this has been a terrible year for apples - too many late frosts, I think, it was an excellent year for grapes. I got a nice crop from my concords in the back yard as well.

Last night I began the sorting process and started the juice bag for the concords which became jelly this morning. I have so many wild grapes, I may make a batch of jelly and make some wine as well. |
