Another week has past

and we are busy as usual. The garden is really going well. Picked my first zuchini! YEA! Bill needs to make his special zuchini skillet bake! It's the best!

We have a baseball tourni this afternoon and it's going to be 105 at least. I hate the heat! I'm a winter person. But I thank God that it allows my garden to grow :)

Here is a recipe for apple butter ;)
