Still more apples

The wind has been relentless today! We worked outside anyway. I ripped up the green bean plants, and Bill gave the remaining green beans to some people down the road, I put up another 5 gallon bucket of apples, cause there are so many. Bill picked nearly all of them up and just gave them away to people today. Time ...for some supper soon, and some more of that apple pie...had a great day...

Got Halloween costumes

Took mom to her Dr. appt. this afternoon, then went to the Halloween store in Mt. Vernon, got our costumes, fixed supper and made an apple pie...what a beautiful day!

Using that persimmon

Worked outside part of the morning, putting screens in the greenhouse because the wasps decided to build a condo in there. It has been close to frosting temps at night so put some of my plants in there. Made the persimmon cookies and they are really yummy, thanks, Marsha. It's a beautiful fall day, glad summer is over.

Clinton Apple and Pork Festival

We had a great time at the Clinton Apple and Pork Festival yesterday with Shelley, the grand boys, Marsha and Christine. We took both boys and let Cary have a free afternoon at home. The kids were pretty good, it was cloudy, so it was cool.

A phone call from a dog

My phone rang, and there was a strange static sound, and no one answered, so I hung up. I could see who it was, but before I could call her back, she called me and said that her dog had called me...I guess he grabbed the phone out of her purse and hit the speed dial with his teeth. The static I heard was him chewing on Reba's phone...lol...never a dull moment...

Apples, apples everywhere

Making apple butter today, and freezing some apples for winter pies, oh, almost forgot about the rest of those green beans...I hope this is the end of the preserving food, I have enough to survive a post-disaster event, seriously..

Green Beanies

A beautiful day here today. We got 2 inches of rain Friday, and now I just picked huge quantities of green beans! I guess I know what I will be doing today!

Visiting my bro and sis in law

Mom and I just
got back from visiting my bro, Milo and sis in law, Barb. We had a
fantastic time, I swear we all talk as fast as we can, like we will
never see each other again....maybe it is all the coffee and sweets or maybe it's because we just like to talk a lot. (Really??)
I'm going to go work in the greenhouse a bit an...d wait for the rain to
get here. Have a great day all.

Kinmundy Labor Day Festival

Had a great time (and a very busy time) at the Kinmundy Labor Day Festival. We are tired but happy. I found Linda M. and we watched her grand daughter run in the relay race....so cute....I am uploading some pix of a few faces I painted today, but I never stopped for 6 hours straight, and so we were the last ones to leave the park.

Gettin' ready

Everything's
ready for the Labor Day festival tomorrow. I'm ready to go paint some
spidermen, and butterflies, and tigers...oh my....Made baked potato soup
and zucchini bread today....hope everyone has a fantastic Labor day..
