Health so far this fall

Encouraging friends

Birthday time!

My dear and only daughter Marina turned 11 yesterday the 29th. I can't believe she is this old already! She is a treasure and I forget how old she actually is sometimes cuz she is big for her age and acts it too....She is my right hand help with Ashton and can whip the house into shape in a 1.2.3! Marina I love you!

Apples, Apples, Apples

Applesauce is such a process and I tend to forget how much work it is til the next year when we start all over again. The children were such a big help and we got 25 quarts done tuesday evening and then my friend Sara came on wednsday and we got another 50 quarts done!
It so rewarding to think of that in our freezer and the family eats it so many ways and so many times a week it a major staple here. I need to remember to write down my varieties that I put together and which ones we like over the years and now since I have been journaling my journey with Ashton I am getting better at making lists and notes of things I want to remember.
Have a blessed fall day!
