Capturing Summer

I've been working all week on saving some of the season's best to enjoy this winter. So far I've canned 1/2 bushels of tomatoes, apples and peaches from our local farmers market. I love pretending to be in a chapter of Little House on the Prairie! Aren't they pretty? But if I'm capturing the end of summer, you know what come's next, right? Boo Hoo. It's the back to school posts. Stay tuned...

We all have work;
let no one shirk.

OK, OK.
Let someone shirk!

We are working on putting in a pea gravel foundation for a paver patio outside our mudroom door. When it is finished, our worker boys have asked to be "paid" a trip to Old Country Buffet. I think we can manage that! But it's not done yet, guys..... and by the way, where's Reilly?
