And not finished yet. I still need to pick more grapes and water plants. Plus put the chickens up for the night.
I did get the coop cleaned out this morning. It wasn't hard as everything was very dry. So at least it wasn't heavy. But very dusty. That's why I wanted to get it cleaned. The chicks are out there now. I am thinking dot head might be a rooster as it's getting bigger than the others now. Two of the others have feathered legs. I hope both of those are hens.
I made another batch of grape jelly and picked my apples. I had enough for a batch of apple butter. I just finished water bathing those jars. So I am finished in the kitchen at least.
I am taking 4 half pecks of grapes to the auction to sell. I also have almost a peck for a friend. She is bringing me green beans. We will probably do those tomorrow afternoon. But they are more of a sit down job.
Time for me to get back outside. Hope you had a good day.

Sorry, you worked too much on Labor Day. I know the term is confusing, but “Labor Day” is a day when you DON’T labor, but instead celebrate all the laboring you do the other days.
Hope you get to rest up some. Way too much work. I’m tired, and I just did some laundry.

We never use 'peck' here as a unit of measurement. Just another difference between our countries.

It was a busy afternoon here. I've been cleaning the house, trying to get it ready for the inspector in the morning. All the towels and washcloths are folded and put away, I did the dishes again this afternoon and cleaned counters and stovetop. I also swept the kitchen floor and took the bathroom and kitchen trash out.
Pretty still needs to vacuum floors through the living room, the bedrooms and the hallway.
I haven't slept yet today and I'm exhausted.
I hope you have a good night.
