On Thursday, the Autumn Equinox, I got this shot due east as the sun was coming up. I’ve not quite gotten used to seeing the Autumn Equinox sun coming in these east windows. There had always been trees before…
Back to the last day of summer on Wednesday, here’s the fairy in the morning sun.
I got the laundry started, got a shower, got chores done, and started cleaning up the kitchen. I was pretty worn out from the day before so not moving too fast.
The sauce had gone down about 1” overnight in the roaster but was still pretty watery. I turned the heat up and let it cook down to 2” from the top. That concentrated it sufficiently. It went through the blender and got reheated. Then I started filling jars. I debated about starting both kettles full, but in the end I did. Good thing, because I got 21 pints.
With the 21 pints from last week and these , plus the dozen left from last year, I now have a year’s worth of sauce. Now I can move onto some of the other stuff I need to do.
The hayman only got 1 bale off the front pasture.
And he only got 2 off the middle pasture.
But he got 8 off the front part of the back 40. So the fields are mown again.
The house in the early morning sun on the last day of summer.
My son has been keeping the south side of the driveway cleaned up this year so I’ve not seen goldenrod along it. I found this in the weedy fence gardens.
I’ve had the shades up during the day it’s been so nice, so Larry is back in his sunning place in the roundtop window.
Helping me pay bills on Monday
On Thursday I think I will finish the bills in the morning. My helper friend comes at 11:30AM and he can finish the washing up of the kettles and take the sauce to the root cellar. We also have to water the 75+ house plants and he needs to run an errand.
Then I plan to take it easy when he leaves at 2PM.

Congrats on getting that much sauce made for the season. It is wonderful to be able to have the produce in the root cellar. I bought apples at the farmers market yesterday and now I will get to making applesauce for the grandkids this weekend. Have a great day.
