Happy Labor Day!!!!
It's been a gloriously, beautiful weekend here...our summer has arrived, albeit a tad bit late!!!
Yesterday after church, we all went out to lunch and then to the mall for a bit. My daughter talked me into doing this:
The last garage sales of the summer were the best all year!!!
I got this cool green scale. I love that is says "American Family Scale" on the front!!
We're starting to clean out the garden. My beans, corn and squash are still going strong, but we took out the broccoli, peas, lettuce, and all the junky stuff. I've dug some potatoes, but will leave most in the ground for awhile yet. My carrots are HUGE!!! Should have pulled them all and tried to store them, but no room!!!! My freezers are full and I still have to make room for corn!!!
I love having provisions lined up for the fall and winter!!
Starting to think about cozy things.....sweaters, soup, baking, resting, quilting, etc. The nights are cooling down and getting crisp. The leaves are just starting to turn. The mornings are foggy and cool and the moon has an orange glow about it.
Fall is coming!!!!
Your pond is so pretty. So are the sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great games. I came across my Walton's game recently. I have never played it, but had to have it! Do you have t hat one? If not, you need it!
I haven't been in a paddle boat for years. That sounds like fun.
I need to get my ears re-pierced. I can't get my earrings in anymore. I am sure you will enjoy having your ears done again!! Now you need a nice set of ruby or diamond earrings!!
great post!!
ReplyDeletefall is in the air and that makes me happy :)
no more disappointing summer weather just fall days and evening with no expectations....
oh, and ilove love love fall light!
Wow, how cool is your own pond! And a paddle boat no less to go with!
ReplyDeleteMy garden is still producing lots, in fact I think my tomato crop has gone crazy... this year I may even try homemade, canned ketchup since I have so many!
I'm looking forward to soup and sweater weather, although finally getting some summer was certainly nice!

Oh look at your beautiful garden scene. We canned salsa yesterday. Had to throw out some tomatoes because we had a crazy storm here Sat. AM. Power out from 9ish Sat. until Sunday between 2 and 3 pm. A lot of reading and crocheting going on here. Our garden was not great this year. To hot in July and I was burnt out on the yard from earlier in the summer. Have a great week Holly! Oh yeah, your finds are superb!
ReplyDeleteMy produce needs my attention! I have beets, beans and corn to deal with right now! I think I'm going to try blanching and freezing green beans this year. Too overwhelmed for canning! Hope to see you on scrappin' day!
ReplyDeleteYour blog title caught my eye. Loved the Walton's and wish for more simpler times like it was then. I love your pond, it's so much cleaner than ours. Enjoyed my visit, you have a nice blog!
ReplyDeleteOuch on the ears. I'm still wincing on that. I love those little paddle boats! What fun for you!
ReplyDeleteThat scale is really wonderful!
