Well here we are again, stuck at home for at least another week. You would think we have a lot of time on our hands but nooo. It’s spring time here and that means working outdoors getting things ready for the summer and most importantly you! We have already started on our farmer’s tans (got to start working outside with a tank or bikini top to even things out a bit). Just the short list of what we are doing: Built a new wood fire pit, trimmed all the fruit trees regular trees and rose bushes, burned our ditches, filled the pool up, raked up the dead and burned that too, fertilized and laid down grass seed. Now I’m irrigating the hay field out front. And this was all after we disinfected our house. We have taken the COVID-19 virus very seriously and spent a lot of time disinfecting the wood floors, carpet, furniture, bathrooms, common rooms and all the linens. You won’t find that dare bug here! Yes, we are open (deemed essential), yes we are sanitized and just waiting on our state to open up again. Until then, stay safe!
In the meantime, please enjoy our Deconstructed Apple Pie recipe that we serve for breakfast here. National Apple Pie day is May 13th!

Scoop half of apples into desired serving dish. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly before sprinkling graham crackers on top. (You can use a bit of cornstarch to thicken if you have too much apple juice in the bottom of your baking dish)
