Raspberry Bush

This raspberry bush is a favorite around our place. It has gotten a little bit away from me with no weeds being pulled the past couple years, and the dry summer last year possibly hurt it’s growth a bit. I made sure to put TLC on my to do list, and got around to doing that today. We don’t have a lot of fresh eating plants, but the raspberries we get every year are something I enjoy so it felt good to give my plant some breathing room.

Garden Shed

It’s been pretty weather outside lately. I decorated my garden shed and did a few other things in the yard this past week. The garden shed decorations were holed away in one of our barns, and I finally got around to putting them out. My collecting habits are paying off {my husband may call it hoarding}.

Freeze meat until firm (not frozen). Cut into thin slices (I use my mandolin from pampered chef). Combine ingredients and meat in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight covered with a lid. Put meat in dehydrator for 4 1/2 hours or until it’s the consistency you like.
