Harvest begins...

Erik tackled our overgrown squash patch last night in preparation for our upcoming move. Most of the squashes and gourds were full size and beyond already! I am thankful to have the harvest done - who knows what kind of 20 pound monster squash we might have had hiding beneath the leaves if we waited any longer!!


And...canning! :) A few weeks ago we did a round to tomatoes in prep for winter soups. Last week Jane picked up a bushel of delicious peaches from a nearby farm and we went to town putting them up.

...and, grilled peaches with dinner one night - yum, yum!
don't worry...we are taking moments here and there to relax. :)
