Pine Nut Party/Picnic

It's been a pretty good Autumn so far. Bryan and Isaac have made great progress on our wood pile. They make a couple trips almost every weekend they can. Then they spend time chopping it in the driveway. It'll be nice to be toasty by the fire this winter!
Saturday last weekend was the heat wave of October, almost 80 degrees. Moving in behind it was a cold front that would bring with it single digits for evening temperatures. So, we took advantage of that warm day to go collect pine nuts! Something I've been wanting to do for the last few weeks. Rachel and the kids were here visiting. Audrey came up for the weekend too. We made a family trip up to Snake Creek for a little pine nut party and picnic.

We ended up collecting 18 cups of pine nuts! So cool!
