Where has this summer went?
I feel like we are always on the go, but never really going anywhere.
Randomness from the last couple of weeks (in no particular order)...
*We decided on a whim to buy a camper (maybe we will go some where now)
* We celebrated Cori's 1st birthday
*I had my 20 week ultrasound (oh my, how time flies) and everything is looking fine
*One of our little kitties died (freak accident...he got tangled in some string he was playing with and strangled himself)
*We transplanted 23 pine trees from our yard to the top of the berm that runs along the front of our property (when I say we...I mean we hired someone)
*We planted more fruit trees...one peach and two plum
*Garden is going crazy...I picked our first melons this week, lots of tomatoes, peppers, cukes, zucchini and sweet corn
*32 pints of peaches canned, 23 pints of mild salsa canned, 8 pints of beets canned, 5 pies made and froze, 13 quarts of carrots froze, 40 cups of shredded zucchini froze, countless quarts and pints of pickles canned, 4 pints of apricot jam canned
*I love my new food processor and have no idea how I went so long without one
*My children amaze me everyday...growing like crazy, running around like mad...full of funny sayings and big open-mouthed kisses
*Work-wise/business is slow right now and on top of that I have a crazy customer arguing about a bill for work we did

Cori has picked up her mama's love of tomatoes.
She eats a whole one right from the garden whenever she gets the chance.
This is pretty much what my kitchen has looked like for weeks. I have a love/hate relationship with my garden. It seems so time consuming this time of year, but is so worth it come December.
And with the baby due in December, we know I will need all the help I can get.
What was I thinking? 65 pounds of peaches was probably not necessary.
God bless!
Are you wonder woman? You must be to do all that canning with two little ones and be pregnant at the same time. I wish I had half your energy, I can barely keep my house clean. God Bless you Holly, You are one awesome mom!
