O.K.!!! It's time!!!!

I pretty much have ignored my blog, most of the summer. Not because I want to!!! Just happens that way.

It has been a good summer..not too hot, and not too cold!!! Just right! I was worried about my garden when we had that long cool spell in June, but it has come on with a vengance, at this point, so, that would give you a pretty good idea about what I have been doing for the last little while!!!

Three cases of rasberry jam, but I gave one to someone! 35 quarts of pickles! I never want to see another dill pickle!!!
Two laundry baskets of onions! 21 pints of green beans! Dried peppers! 15 quarts of tomatoes!

Believe it or not, I really hate canning!!! Norm and I made a deal in 07 that if he wanted to have a big garden, that he would have to help me can the stuff! Then, in 2008 he was sick, but insisted on having a garden, and we couldn't keep up with it, so most of the stuff was given away. So this year, he has just escaped!!! Not!!!! Gonna have family counsel on that one!!!

But, all in all, the shelves are filling up and it is somewhat of a comfort that at least we will have green beans, onions, tomatoes, rasberry jam, and pickles!!!!

MY FAVORITE QUOTE

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have food in your refridgerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not"
