Meat and Apples with Apple pie topped with apple sauce

A few weeks ago I began to harvest apples from our apple trees.  The first day I picked a dozen apples.  A few days later we decided to begin harvesting the apples before they spoiled or were all eaten by wildlife.  One and a half trees later we picked 10 dozen apples.  Overflowing in apples I decided to make apple sauce. 4 batches of apple sauce later with 7 dozen apples remaining I made apple pies.  4 apple pies later with 3 dozen apples remaining I made meat with apples.  Today, there are 2 dozen apples remaining and I do not want to eat another apple... Even the deer did not want all of the apples from the tree.

Guest House

I would like to present our new guest house.  This long weekend we tested out the camper.  We took the long drive through the bush to the back field of our property.  There we set up the trailer; that is after 3 hours in the pouring rain we were finally able to make it level. 
Prior to moving the trailer our neighbor was very concerned this would scare some of the wildlife away.  I am not sure how many animals we had before but we definitely heard coyotes and something that was breathing loudly that was either a deer or the concerned neighbor.   We are pretty sure it was a deer...  I am sure it is safe for house guests.
At the very least unwanted house guests.
