goodies

okay, okay, I know...no time for sewing at the moment... here's some of what I've been doing (besides working)

lots of football stuff.... #63 is my baby... they won their opening jamboree game on Friday. Wish them luck this Friday is the first official game.

...A little canning..ok, a lot of canning... this is just a sampling: pickled squash, canned tomatoes, pears in syrup, pickled jalapeno peppers, pickled banana peppers, bread n butter pickles, dill pickles, salsa,pear preserves, pear salsa, blueberry jam, figs in syrup, fig preserves, jalapeno pepper jelly.... not pictured is blueberry butter, blueberry syrup, green tomato relish, green tomato chutney, oh....and other stuff that I can't recall at the moment...

...then there's all the frozen stuff from the garden.... green beans, squash, zucchini, blueberries, corn, okra... still more stuff growing....

I do still dream of sewing something pretty...

getting old!

here are the new additions to the family: I am a great aunt twice... a g-niece and a g-nephew, and also a regular old aunt again with a nephew... aren't they just as cute as they can be??

hurray....finally

finally.. a computer in the house!!

I've been busy....some sewing, freezing, canning....I'll tell you, the garden has just about taken over! I did take a few days last week to chill out at the beach before school starts back.. look at my handsome baby! It was a great trip...but way too short! The fig trees missed me...they now smell like a winery....I tried to keep them picked before I left to keep from having rotten fruit falling on me.... and the peppers multiplied in my absence as well...I need another week off to catch up on them...

I'll try to post pics of some of the lovely jams & canned items..... football meeting time for now...can you believe another season starts this month... only one more year after this one :)
