I still can't believe labor day is this weekend. Our summer flew by, and it was full of so, so much goodness. Our weekends have been full harvesting, my nights - preserving.
This is after not picking tomatoes for about 4 days. One nights harvest with green peppers!

I ended up running out of time to can them up before this weekend, so i skinned them and threw them in the freezer until i have time.
Last Sunday, hubs picked enough corn to just about fill the wagon. He picked & shucked, and i blanched and bagged!
I ended up freezing 20 bags of corn for the winter!!
And this weekend we are getting ready for my dad's 60th birthday / retirement party at our house!
It will be so much fun to have a big Gray family party, and see everyone :)
I actually read this book at the end of July, in four days! It was so, so good. I highly suggest it.
And if you don't already read her blog, i suggest you do! www.kellehampton.com!!

I took a trip up to Center Harbour last weekend, and stopped by the farm to grab some fresh Apple Cider Donuts! I think they are my favorite food. Good thing they are only out in the Fall!
I have canned two batches of Nana's Dilly Beans. She handed me down her original recipe card.
It means so much to me.
I love it.
More lovely corn!
The moon one night, gorgeous.
Mid August Canning inventory.
August has been full to the brim, and i have loved my time at home.
Have a great labor-day weekend!!!
I've read her blog a few times, good good stuff. some very moving stuff, but still good. :) I'll have to keep my eyes open for her book around here, I'd forgotten she was writing one (been a while since I checked on her blog obviously!). good work on all the harvesting & preserving!! I've made a batch of freezer strawberry jam & 2 batches of fridge pickles and that is it... everything else has been just blanched & frozen or just stuck whole into the freezer. I'm hoping to get a small batch of apple sauce actually canned this weekend though, fingers crossed! Have a great weekend!
