Harvest Time!

For our Family Home Evening activity we made Scarecrows! Of course there has to be a "fishing pole" in the picture. You should see the cars slow down and look!

And this has been my life for the last 8 weeks. Every spare minute! Do you want to hear the variety? I hope you said yes!!!! Blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and peach jam, chokecherry syrup (it was suppose to be jam, but I did something wrong so we'll put it on pancakes), tomatoes, spagetti sauce, salsa, dilly beans, string beans, Amish lime pickles, bread and butter pickles, grape juice, apple sauce, plums and peaches. In the freezer is swiss chard, brocolli, beets, carrots, corn, blackberries and blueberries.
Hungry yet? Come on over!!
It amazes me what a little ground and a lot of hard work can produce.




















And the guys keep running!
Joshua's best time:
10:38 for 1 1/2 miles

Michael's best time:
21:40 for 3 miles

Both these pictures were taken at the Ilion Cross-Country meet. (note Michael running through our old stomping grounds, "Russell Park")

What!? Ilion beat Sauquoit

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD! BONNIE
