Honey is Here
John has been busy extracting honey at our beekeeper mentor's honey shed. This is the first round. We estimate this is about 60 pounds of honey. There's 29 jars in this group. John thinks he may extract about 40 more pounds today. The main flower source is alfalfa and rabbit brush. Wow, is it good!
Chorus Practice
Here's the very lively Harney County Chamber Music Society Chorus in a state of panic at practice because the recital is 12 days away and we aren't ready. We are singing the Hallelujah Chorus, Do You Hear What I Hear, For Us A Child Is Born, Eager Shepherds on Their Way and There is No Rose. Recital is Sunday, December 4 at 3 PM at the Church of the Nazarene. Somehow it all comes together at show time and everyone always says we sound pretty good. The community orchestra and the bell swingers play in the same recital. It's an annual tradition. No auditions required, and if you make mistakes no one hardly notices.
Butts in the Wind
Horses will stand with their butts to the source of the wind. Great weather vanes. The wind is blowing pretty lively out of the southwest on this one.

Diana and her cookstoves
Diana, another neighbor on Palomino Lane, is a master of restoration. She found two old cook stoves which she will restore. Who knows? She might even cook on them. She has her sights on another and among three she might be able to put together one working stove. This is one of her winter projects. (Snowing and blowing here today.)
