Anya removed the husks & gave these a spin in a bucket of water with a paint stirrer drill attachment. Now they’re laying out in the sun to dry.

Library Adventure
Scott went to a whiskey tasting with a friend, so I drove everyone downtown. Anya and I visited the main branch of the Cleveland library (where she happily read a few books until it was time to pick them up). Wandering around the building, though, we found a few art installations. This one was really cool — and would be a neat way to dry herbs!
Orchard – Mulched
Anya and I got the orchard mulched today — ten blueberries, three seaberries, three honey berries, a cherry, a fig, two pawpaws, two currants, three gooseberries, and seven raspberries.
Mushrooms
When I went to let the birds out today, a whole forest of mushrooms had sprouted.
Shopsmith 10ER
We picked up a cool woodworking tool at a local auction — it’s a lathe, table saw, and drill press all in one!

Hazelnuts
All of our hazelnut bushes are ready to pollinate flowers in spring!
Next Year’s Corn
We let a number of corn cobs dry in the field to harvest seeds for next year. The kernels pop off the cob easily when they are dry enough. If it’s even a little hard to remove, I just let the cob sit for another few days and tried again. We’ve got lots of super sweet corn ready to plant next year.
