Nate took me out hunting one early Thursday morning in October. We hiked around, listened to a big bull bugle back at Nate, and enjoyed sitting surrounded by beautiful trees and streams. He's trying to get a spike elk this year. He's going out again today and tomorrow and then elk season is over. Wish him luck!
about 5:30 in the morning we get to the parking lot.
we heard a big elk running around in this clearing but didn't see anything. my heart was racing it was so close!
listening for the elk to bugle back at us
Fall harvest included one edible watermelon, two pumpkins, lots of tomatoes and some sunflowers including one bigger than my head! Nate estimated it has about 1000 seeds on it. I'm saving some to plant next year and plan on eating the rest roasted with salk and garlic. Yum!
Blain's Doctor's appointment went well. He's growing great and is cuter by the day.
With all the apples this year I made Apple Butter! It turned out delicious. I used a crockpot recipe that I got off of pinterest.
24 apples
peeling, coring, and chopping the apples
mixing in the spices
16 hours later I blended and enjoyed! We've been using it on french toast mostly but it's good on lots of things!

Wow, I didn't know Nate was a hunter. Good luck to him.
