hulled and quartered lengthwise2 to 4 tbs. sugar7 to 2 tbs. lemon juice7 cup heavy cream
For the Biscuits2 cups plus 2 tbs. flour7/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling7 tbs. baking powder7 tsp. salt7 7/2 cups heavy cream

Working from center toward bowl's edge, use fork to stir dry ingredients into cream until just blended. The dough will be sticky and lumpy.

Let cool for at least15 minutes on pan, then slice in half horizontally. Biscuits are best served within a couple of hours of baking, but may be refreshed in hot oven. Or freeze some unbaked for another time(bake frozen biscuits for 30 minutes).Assemble the shortcakes: Just before serving, place biscuit bottoms, cut side up, in individual bowls, top with strawberries, some syrup, and whipped cream, and then biscuit tops.

MSC installing a new 1" line for water. This is will be an added benefit to help with watering, washing, etc. this summer. We are also working on a full scale irrigation solution with the school. They have some BIG irrigation for sports fields that we can tap into.
Stay tuned!
The deer fenceis up and working! No sign of any deer tracks in the soft earth -‐ just a few fox tracks!
That's a good sign. I got a glimpse of two gray fox kits just the other morning! They were in front of their den playing in the sun. Glad they're here -‐ their presence should deter "varmints" lower in the food chain.

Universal RecyclingQ) What is Universal recycling?A) Universal Recycling is a new State Law, which requires all trash haulers, including municipalities, to provide single-stream curbside recycling service to their customers by delivering an appropriate sized recycling cart and collecting recycling at least once every two weeks.Q) Do I have to use my recycling cart?A) No, the law does not require you to recycle, but the intention of the law is to make recycling convenient to residents by providing curbside service. Trash haulers must provide EVERY customer a recycling cart regardless if they want to participate. Trash companies may or may not increase their charge for this service but they must provide both services for a set price.Q) What is single-stream recycling?A) Single-Stream recycling is a recycling process in which materials are collected all mixed together with no sorting required by the customer. So cans and bottles can be recycled together with newspaper, cardboard, etc. Once collected the recyclables will be taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and separated.Q) What happens at a MRF?A) A MRF uses a system of sorting mechanisms, which can separate the recyclables into individual material groups in preparation for sending to their respective market.Q) What exactly can I put into my single-stream cart?
A) Newspapers/ Brown Paper BagsMagazines/CatalogsTelephone/Soft Cover BooksJunk Mail/Envelopes (all types)PaperPaperboard (cereal/tissue boxes)CardboardPlastic Grocery BagsGlass Bottles/Jars (any color)Metal Cans (tin/steel/aluminum)#1 PET plastic food and beverage containers.#2 HDPE plastic food and beverage containers.
