fall in the air?

We had such a nice visit with Lia and the children this summer. Lia say's
she wants them to remember how beautiful it is back
here!She wanted that bad enough to drive cross country with her six little holligans, what a sport!  Little Cozy and I became friends, she's so fun to have
around and such alittle chatter box and says the cutest things!
 
Kids and lego's
 
 
It was hard to see them go but for sure I'll see
them when the new baby comes next May!
Yes this is an announcement!
 
We've had the greatest garden this year, best in years!
Our poor neighbors probley dread
seeing us come! We certainly
Can't eat it all!
 
 
Lots of pickles!
 
The fair started today, we'll be going tomorrow with the
three little Tunnells. James and Beth are moving
tomorrow so we get the kids for the
week-end!

    We have also had a great growing season and my friends, relatives, and the food pantry that I work at have benefited from it. It is a wonderful feeling to share your harvest.

    It sounds like you had a houseful of children at your house this summer. I know that it made your summer days extra special, Linda.

    You have a lovely family, Linda and another new little arrival expected in May - how wonderful. My garden is rapidly turning into a wilderness. It's a job and and a half keeping top sides with it, but we've had loads of produce too

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
