When Mike and I woke up it was promising to be another beautiful day. As I prepared some potato salad and various other things for lunch Mike went down to start sorting the timbers. Nephew Mike showed up with his two daughters Reegan and Brennan around 9:30 am. As the guys developed a plan for beginning to put up the beams the girls and I decided to make more Spaghetti Sauce.
We went to the garden and checked for ripe tomatoes, picked what we could and headed back to the house to clean them and make sauce. As we were busy cutting up tomatoes, peppers and onions for the sauce the guys came in and said we needed a hoist to lift the beams. We have now changed the plans a little- Nephew Mike and his crew will be coming up on Tuesday to begin assembling the bents and then on Wednesday (fingers crossed) they will begin setting them in place. Our main concern is that we need to get the barn up and winter is fast approaching.
As we discussed the plans the girls and I managed to keep working at our task of making Spaghetti Sauce. We canned seven quarts today!
