Had a fun weekend.
Friday we went to 'rock the rink' which is a figure skating show set to rock music. It's the farewell tour for multi-gold medalists Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, who are retiring this year. Several other big (Canadian) skating names, plus an American, French, and a Russian couple.
Saturday my whisky club had our quarterly meet. We did a single distillery, who donated one of the bottles to us. That was a big thing for us, first recognition from a distillery.
Yesterday on of my girls helped press the apples that I tried to do last week. A few days in freezer plus some pectic enzyme helped a lot. Got a little over 5 gallons from around 80lbs of our backyard apples.
Pic of the HUGE snow accumulation, along with extreme arctic temps of 27 degrees, that caused our schools down heah to be delayed two hours this morning. LOL! It's gonna be 18 tonight and you'd think the world was ending.
Brought back some seeds from our last trip to Paraguay. Some hot peppers and a bottle tree.
Started both back in February indoors under a grow light, outside all summer.
They are now in my garage, hoping to keep them alive for the winter. Got a couple ripe peppers, but going for a lot more next year if I can keep this one alive over winter.
Have the garage at 10 degree Celsius, grow light on for about 12 hours a day.
They "know me" and stay beyond 500 yds. Run if they see me at all, anywhere. They do come in at night, my old lab lets me know. Both dogs are in the kennel after dark.
