Long Time Without a PostMultiple reasons and excuses explain the lack of recent postings. But I won't waste your time with details. I will just make an effort to get back to a more regular blog posting schedule, and maybe the happenings of the last several months will somehow come to light. <span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was a sunny, hot summer and wild flowers and goldenrod were in profusion. </span><br />

Both were from my second batch of chicks, three springs ago. So they had already given me the best of their laying days. I discovered this little gal not feeling very well a couple of weeks ago.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> While I am not totally sure of the identity of the Golden Comet that died, I can say, her final days were spent in a comfortable spa setting where she extended her life by several days. In the end, I returned her to her flock mates in a special, heated brooder. She seemed very happy to be back with the girls, but she lasted there not even over night. Here is a photo of her enjoying a sitz bath in the slop sink. She liked the warm water. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;">

I love all my hens, but Dottie was a favorite. For a little bird she had such personality and character. She loved to free range and was always the one to find the hole in the fence and get out. We spent lots of time putting her back into the chicken yard and tracking down the holes to mend.</div>

Two days ago I found her in the morning, lying listless in the yard, very cold. I moved her out of the fenced in area so her mates wouldn't disturb her and placed her next to them, in the warm sun. Her hen friends came over to say good-bye. I went down several hours later, after dusk, and she was still lying there and alive. So I brought her into the house and put her on some comfy warm towels where she died the next morning. I will miss little Dottie.</div>

The flowers are great sources of nectar for bees and butterflies So in less than a month, we'll have lots of goldenrod honey. It's a little darker and a little stronger in taste than our earlier summer wildflower honey, there is a slightly spicy taste. The honey is truly delicious... warm and sweet ....a great antidote to the shorter and colder fall days. </span></span><br />

<div class="Body1">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Goldenrod honey does tend to crystallize faster than
clover honey or other wildflower honey. Crystallization does not change the flavor or
ruin the honey. If you want liquid honey, it can be gently warmed by
placing the container of honey in a bowl of hot water until it
liquefies. Never microwave honey. This destroys the nutritional value of
the honey. Crystallized honey may also be used "as
is". A slightly crystallized honey is easier to spread on
toast anyway. </span></span></div>

So, Pat and Don attended the Addison County Maple Sugar Maker's Annual Convention in Middlebury. They listened to lectures on 3/16th tubing, tapping below the lateral, the State certification program and more. They also were able to talk with lots of local sugar makers over lunch and at display booths. Here, Pat picks up some literature from Bascom, one of Vermont's biggest sugar making operations. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Capping each honey filled hexagonal cell of the honeycomb is a bit of golden wax. </span><span style="font-size: large;">For us to harvest the honey, Don carefully scrapes off the wax 'caps' with a hot planer. We save all those wax caps, clean them up a bit by heating and filtering out the stray honey or other debris that may have gotten caught up in them. Then the wax gets melted and molded into beautiful golden blocks that are saved to use for making candles, lip balm, soaps, massage bars and other sumptuous creations.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">All set up and ready to sell to the folks coming to The Richmond Holiday Market on Saturday, December 3rd. It was such a busy day, that this is the only photo I was able to take. After the doors opened, people were coming by, tasting syrup, inquiring about the honey comb, buying presents, and just enjoying the holiday market. Outside were roaming carolers, draft horse drawn wagon rides, and lots of food and music and plenty of snow flakes. It was a fun and lucrative day and it felt great to know some syrup and honey were going to make their way into Christmas stockings and under trees. Merry Christmas!</span><br />Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00911384335045522758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545191503913246745.post-90879086621000888362016-11-28T07:57:00.000-05:002016-11-28T07:57:27.315-05:00ALL TUCKED IN<span style="font-size: large;">The honey they could spare has been extracted, the rest left to feed the dormant foragers through their long winter indoors.

He tracked down lots of used equipment, talked to local farmers on 'how-to' and then went to making hay. His first hay sale was to a mother-of-the-bride, who wanted hay bales for hay rides at the wedding! That sounds like a pretty fun start to the haying business.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Finally there was enough collected, that Don decided it was time to purify it so we might be able to make some candles, or lip balm, or maybe some salve. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The process to clean up the wax was a multi-step process that involved a few trips to the kitchen supply store to get pots and sieves and cheesecloth and more.</span> <br />

That's got to be way better than being Miss America don't you think? Anyway, you have to trust a banana bread recipe made with honey coming from such a credible source as a Honey Queen. I tried it, and it was so good, that is rose to the top of my list of all other 20 recipes I have in my recipe box for banana bread, and even the recipe marked in The Joy of Cooking. Here it is if you want to try it.</span><br />
