Bijou, my best friend, is forever by my side through sickness and fitness. I know she'll be blessed during the Full
Sturgeon Moon;
she is the first one awake and out the door running to check the traps and our smoking racks, often before I have time to think about waking up!
She does her best trying to participate in our food gathering.
I don't want to get too far from Marvella and the fire pit; I want to make sure I have food to last through winter. I think adding the planks around the smoking frame helped speed up smoking and aided in the longevity of the fire.
I've begun storing the smoked salmon in empty food containers from the cabin for winter use. I'll continue fishing and crabbing, smoking, and storing, until it gets too cold to move outside.
