Fall 2011

We summer has passed, all too quickly. We've had a good and busy summer, working during the week, and then pulling ivy, putting on new roofs, cleaning, helping with family, visiting nieces and nephews....it all goes too fast.

I just wanted to share a couple of photos of the bounty of God's Creation we get to enjoy here in the NW! I truly love living in the NW...despite all the rain...the rain does bring lots of good yummy things to eat and enjoy!


Blackberries!






Apples...and the process to applesauce

Ready to cook

I also was blessed by a bag of plums, and I decided to make it into plum jam. Thankfully, plums are dark, because I kind of burned it a bit...but it's still decent so we saved what we could. I slowly continue to explore more of my home culinary art, often it doesn't turn out quite how I expected, but I still am glad I tried. Anyways, here's to a lovely fall....our leaves haven't quite
F-A-L-L-E-N
yet...But, when they do that's what I'll be spending all my free time doing....
B-L-O-W-I-N-G!
