Things I am enjoying...

Life is good and we are very  blessed! Here are a few of the blessings.

Last Friday we went to a Farmer's Market and bought a couple bushels of tomatoes, some green peppers, celery and onions. While we were there we tried a fruit that was most interesting, it had a gelatinous clear white flesh, a brown skin and a large shiny black seed. I thought it was pretty tasty, but no one in my family shared that view. Travis and Bea refused to try it and Gregory and Margaret hated it. I now have three seeds I hope to plant and see if it will grow next summer, just for fun. I also bought bok choy and think I ought to buy it more often, it went very well in a shrimp chow mien I made for lunch when we got home. Saturday we canned 15 quarts of spaghetti sauce.

Gregory loved the job of juicing!

I am very thankful for hard workers. Margaret stuck to it and worked until the whole job was completed. It is so nice to have good and willing helpers.

Bea turns 8!

Creativity is a wonderful thing and Margaret is enjoying seeing what she can make with yarn and a crochet hook. Bea is modeling her new cape with a hood that Margaret made her for her birthday.

I love plaids!

.And I love her wearing them even more!

Sweet visits with my honey....

And daughters that take pictures of us.

Good friends!

Harrison turned 13!

Great times playing with friends. Here they are ready to head out and battle with the air soft guns.

Clouds reflecting the beautiful sunset. Driving from dance to church the other night we saw the prettiest sunset. It had such deep hues, I kept calling to the kids to look as we came around trees or houses and it was in view again. They thought I was being rather redundant but it was pretty and I wanted them to enjoy it with me. This is the season for good walks and we have been enjoying them too.
