Canning mint jelly, Dude worked on some projects, and a craft

After feeding the animals and brushing the horses this morning....




We headed off to the fresh produce store.   In most homes, fall aromas are that of pumpkin spice and apple pies.  Our home has the wonderful smell of roasted chilies!  It smells divine. I am prepping them for canning this week and I will see what they are like dried along with powdering some. 



Today my main focus was on picking the end of the peppers outside and in the greenhouse.  And... making mint jelly.  









Dude got the roof on the pumphouse from scraps leftover from the house roof.  Now we need to add siding like on the home from leftovers.





He pulled up the pumpkins and squashes. 





And started a new project ... I think I will make end tables for the front porch to match. 



His plan is enough to make stepping tiles. 



Quick craft....

These plus...

Equals these... the pumpkin is just mod podged in sections and glittered. The Mummy is the bottom half of the bottle, glue on eyes and a small cotton ball for the nose. Cover in strips of cheese cloth. Great to fill with treats.


I will be peeling chilies the rest of the night. 

peace
