Thanks to the neighbor's pigs and the neighborhood smoking project, we had the best ham ever yesterday during the Hardwood Hermitage Thanksgiving celebration!
Every day, we're thankful to live in such a pretty place.

Apple Butter Bread
Apple butter has many wonderful uses. The special treat often goes on bread. Today, apple butter was baked into bread! This might be the most beautiful loaf to ever come out of our machine!

Friday forest management
A tank from the little saw did nice work north of the house on a cool November morning. Also, we decided to cut the pin cherry group just west of the house so the blueberry bushes -- pictured with their protective cages and after pre-winter mulching -- can receive more sun in the spring.
Some thinning further out will help several young sugar maples, birches, and oaks receive more sun. The firewood from this project will not burn for about two years. The main target for this part of today's work was several red maple stump sprouts (with a small amount of white ash, visible below, in the mix). Pieces from two main piles will move up to the house, then get cut to length.
