We've been at the cabin for a little over a week and things were of mixed review. It rained all but one day we were there. We never saw a deer in the yard and the bears were saw were pretty much nocturnal. BIG, but always after dark. The fishing, like the weather, was not good ,but I still enjoy my time casting. There is nothing on earth better than sharing time with that big lake. Sometimes its more than catching fish.
The apple trees were heavy this year. The Wealthys made for some super applesauce while we were there and the ten pounds or so I brought back with us will make a couple nice pies and more applesauce. The two crabapple trees were simply loaded with fruit so we picked maybe ten pounds and just today made up a batch of Crabapple Jelly. 12 jars. I think this is the best that we've done off those crabapple trees from up there. Great color and the flavor is out of this world.
