Week in Review

Posted on Friday, August 17, 2007 at 10:05

I can't believe it is already Friday. Right now the girls are working on their school work they have been doing a great job. I can't believe it has now been a full two weeks of school. This week has been a busy one:)

Last night we canned 14 pints of salsa and 9 pints of dill pickles. So that makes 23 jars of salsa we have made this week. We also made 13 pints of bread and butter pickles last week. Grand total so far  for canning 45 pints of good things to eat. We did take 2 jars of salsa to our small group and I did make 2 loaves of zucchini bread to share. We are hoping to can a few more pints of tomatoes for chili but we will have to see. Right now our  garden is in a sorry state.(although we did get some rain last night)  While Mary and I were getting the tomatoes ready for the salsa Laura and Pa went to the garden to see if there were anymore tomatoes on the vine. They caught a groundhog eating the rest of our greenbeans and it looked  like he had finished off the sweet potato leaves. Oh well we always have next year :)

Today: We are going to finish school and then I have a few things I need to work on. I am hoping to crochet a little. I haven't been able to finish the scarf I was working on. Christmas is right around the corner. I really would like to make a few gifts this year. I  would also like to buy some more yarn:) I just love looking at yarn there are so many things you can make:)

Tommorow:  We are going to my dads cabin to go fishing. My brother is bringing  his children so it should be a fun day:) The weather is going to be  great! The girls love to fish I sometimes wish we had a small pond in our backyard. Then again maybe not  we would never get anything done:)

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

My son (age 15) is an AVID fisherman. He has often asked us if we could build a small pond in our backyard and then stock it with lots of trout or bass. I don't think the CCR's in our neighborhood would allow for this desire though!

Have a fun time at the cabin!
