Persimmons - Processing them for Freezing

I called Memaw Beck last night and let her know that the persimmon tree has tons of persimmons this year.She came over today and we picked up persimmons. I hadn't mowed the grass this week and it was difficult picking them up. I already picked up 2 grocery bags full beforet today. Memaw took them with her. 9 pints of persimmon pulp (after using a food mill to remove the seed and skin). It takes 2 cups of of pulp to make a persimmon pudding. So - we've got a good start. I went outide this morning and mowed the area of the persimmon trees,and then raked up non 'smushed' persimmonsand threw them away. and readied the area for the rest of the month- picking them up each day. This will keep the bees to a minimum. I'm allergic to bees....so win/win. I push mowed the yard (Trim). Thankfully, it was overcast and breezy. I managed to get inside before the serious rainfall. Anyway,I left the yard at lunchtime feeling like I was 100 years old. I was sweaty, hot, and exhausted. I took a quick shower and then Chaos and I ended up napping in the double recliner. Now, my ear is once again roaring. OMG - I think I need to have a tube put in my right ear. UGH! So- I think I will try to do a bit of cleaning and then head to bed. Looking forward to resting better tonight.
