yay for new freezer and washing machine! I may be old fashioned, but I sure do love my modern conveniences. That washing machine is just what a working farm needs! I don't know about you, but I get filthy, my clothes look like I rolled in mud. LOL

I get beyond filthy and it gets to the point that I hose myself down before taking off my clothes on the porch so the wimpy washer can at least have a chance of making it look clean.

We got the first batch processed down and strained without a whole lot of mess.

It sure beats the hell out of dressing up to go to work at the office.....

I have to smile every time that I think of what I did for the last 50 years. It was rewarding financially but nothing like what we have now.

My last job was parts lady for a garbage company. I wore a uniform shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes. I was done working in the public. I donated 5 garbage bags full of high heels. Never again.

I still have to go to work but no need to dress up.

I must've missed it, but what happened to the freezer you mistakenly bought at the auction? Is that the one that went bad? I have 3 freezers that were bought 2nd hand and they have paid for themselves. I do keep an eye on them so that I don't lose any food if they do go bad for any reason. The one I bought from a couple getting divorced was only 1 year old and it went bad in 2 years. Got 2 that are probably 20 yrs old and they are still chugging along. Got one last year from some friends that they were no longer using, so it was a good deal for them as they really needed a little extra cash, and I replaced one that had gone bad the year before. I like the storage of the chest freezers, but the uprights are so much more convenient.

I like your pic of the blueberries and cukes from the Amish auction, AND that single shot shotgun next to the steps is nice lookin' too. Looks like a 12 guage, but hard to tell.

The earlier pic of the nachos looks good. I always thought they were just chips swimming in a dark yellow, melted cheddar with some hamburger mixed in, but not necessary.
