Wed. 1981 Fair warm sunshiny
I washed 3 loads, cleaned the bed some. Picked up apples & canned 3 quarts. picked up walnuts. To Prayer meeting tonite.
Footnote: Love to have some of those canned apples in a fried pie or a stack apple cake - she made the best stack cake I ever ate. Those walnuts will make their way into cakes during the winter. I don't remember ever eating just walnuts like we eat almonds now. I just remember them being used in baking.
One of my Daddy's favorite things to do was peel and slice apples and he would put them on screens to dry. Then after they were dried, Mother would freeze them. She still has some in the freezer and Daddy passed away in 2004. I doubt the apples have any flavor left in them other than freezer burn, but she will not throw them out. He also loved to gather and crack - with a hammer- the black walnuts. He would sit for hours doing that. I have a walnut tree in my back yard but the squirrels gather and bury the fallen walnuts faster than I can gather them.
