Thinking about going to Florida so decided today was a good day to make the fruit cakes for the holidays.  They need to rest and age at least one week and better if it is three months.  I used up all the fruit I had.  I candied a can of pinapple, used a pound of raisens, five pounds currants, pound peacans, pound walnuts, pound mixed red and green candied cherries, pound candied orange peels that Patty made, two pounds dates, ten eggs and all the flour and spices the recipe called for and got five regular loaf cakes, and 10 small loaf cakes.  That should do it for this year.  They are now ageing in the small fridge in the cellar.    Norman worked out side this morning, cleaning up the field or what will be the field next year.  With the sun coming in there nicely now some grass is beginning to grow so we will spread some seeds next spring and get some grass growing in there and by keeping it mowed the grass will have a good chance to beat the weeds.  Now we can see all the way down to the lower garden, all the trees and brush are out of the way.  This is turning into quite a farm!!    Have a great day.
