FREE AT LAST!!!!!

As some of you know, we have been working our tails off doing apricot leather. We've had an
orange carpet on our deck for some time now. The process is very tedious and long. Picking, pitting,
blending, pouring, drying, picking, pitting blending, pouring drying. Over and over again! We have finally
finished . . . . . . Just in time for our plums! One unenthusiastic yay. it was kind of cool to see all of it out there
but very annoying when we had to race out and bring it in every time it rained.


It's a lot less frustrating when we do it in mass production. we put 3 tables and 2 plywoods out there so we didn't have to use one thousand dinky, little trays. that meant less to carry in but it was harder.
I asked mom if we could make a dress out of the leather that came off of the plywood so I wouldn't have to worry about meals. if I was hungry, I could just pull of a piece.
It was long and annoying but we got a souvenir! The size of a pan with a cougar print!
