Red Letter Days

Last weekend brought several red letter days to the farm. The Princess was overjoyed to be able to hang the first laundry out on her clothesline.


To me it seems to be the ultimate irony for a city gal to have had a dryer all these years and wanting to dry clothes hanging on a line outside. Now mind you, I’m not complaining. Any time we can do something without electricity, I’m all for it. I’m happy to report that I can now dry myself with scratchy towels in the morning. And all this just in time for winter.
Another red letter event was the first pressing of grapes this season. I put Andrew to work squeezing the life out of some Concord grapes. He seemed to enjoy it. I’m pretty certain the Princess will enjoy it when I’m finished with it.



Thanks to everyone for their comments and compliments on the Digging Deeper video. I’m pleased that it is serving its intended purpose. We’ll try to keep the good things going. Until then…..

Check back soon (and often),
