On Friday my grandma called and said that her sister (my aunt Pat) had a grape vine with "gobs and gobs" of grapes on it and that she wanted to know if my grandma knew anyone who might want to have some grapes. So, Saturday Becky, the kids, and I went and picked some grapes. We picked just shy of four bushels of grapes. We haven't had a chance to process them yet, but we decided we are going to juice all of the grapes and then we are going to can some grape juice and make some jelly too. I guess we'll be doing that tomorrow.
Today, my dad came over and we started cleaning up in the "junk" barn because tomorrow we plan on pulling it down. We're going to salvage all that we can. We'll recycle all of the metal that we can't reuse. Any wood that we can't salvage we're going to burn, and everything else is going to go to the dump. Dad came over about four o'clock this afternoon, but some heavy rain moved in about six and we had to call it quits for the night. We'll start back up at seven thirty tomorrow morning. I hope we at least get it down tomorrow. Becky and I rented a construction dumpster which will be here for two weeks so I've got a little while to clean up the mess we make. We're tearing the barn down because it's falling down, an eyesore, in the way, and we want to get the area cleaned up so that we can us the room for either livestock or veggies. Hopefully I"ll have some pictures of the barn project tomorrow night.
