Fall is here and my life is swallowed up in canning and school and family. I am including some pictures of the yard. The weeding is woefully neglected, but it is still pretty. A new little grand daughter has arrived, and I have finished two more quilts. Dad is enjoying a little more free time. Today, Danica and I spent part of the afternoon picking grapes. It was a beautiful day for it. It felt good to be outdoors. Nathan helped by picking up apples from the ground. I am looking forward to finishing the canning and drying and working on another quilt. We have been very blessed to have the food from our yard. We have had enjoyed the raspberries, green and concord grapes, the apples, the peaches, the plums, the carrots, the potatoes, the tomatoes, the broccoli, the green beans, the corn and some of the best cucumbers I have ever tasted. It is a lot of work, but we love having our own fresh produce.
