I talked to dad today on the phone as he prepared to can his first tomatoes. After consultations with the canning book and me he called Suzy Miller for real help. He was successful with four quarts. he is attacking the plums tomorrow and should get several more batches of tomatoes. He isn't sure if he wants to tackle pickles with all his cucumbers. He is amazing.
Max and Minnie are delighted to have someone at home to pet them and are behaving themselves nicely.
Now for the real news. Dad's pear tree has been attacked by a bear. The scat was small so no big deal. So where is the brave dog Zoe who is suppose to keep the wild critters from around the house. Asleep next door in the neighbors house. Our next door neighbor Dorthoy who is a wonderful neighbor has kidnapped our dog. Who can blame Zoe when in the middle of winter Dorothy's tender heart invites her in out of the snow to sleep the night away and eat bacon for breakfast. Hmmm!!!! What about the barn and dog food. I think we have lost our dog and gained a bear.
