First, she took us to Creamer's Field on a walk through the boreal forest. Besides being beautiful, it was an interesting walk and an entertaining one, as we were privileged to see the Sandhill Cranes before they migrate south. Some of those cranes will end up in New Mexico; most will end up in Nebraska.
Then we went to Betsy's house where we made 13 jars of jelly.
After the cooking, Betsy cooked some moose, some delicious salmon, a casserole of brown rice with cashews, and ice cream for dessert. We had never had moose, but I am delighted we tried. It was as good as beef, but more tender. I would have it again in a heartbeat!
It is always fun to get back together with Betsy. She is such a creative woman, with many projects going. She is going to be teaching a weaving class in a few weeks and one of the baskets she is going to make is made with old calendars. It was so pretty - I wish I were so creative!
