I think Autumn is officially here...at least all the produce thinks so. My tomato's have been so slow coming on and so I haven't been able to even eat very many...BUT today as I was roaming around the garden, I saw that they are all turning red at the SAME time! So I need to get them all picked and get canning (oh you all KNOW how much I LOVE THAT...NOT!!!!!!) The raspberries are coming on full force (already made 1 batch of freezer jam...and raspberry freezer jam is the BEST!) and our cute little peach tree (it really is little, only 2 years old) is loaded with peaches. Probably only enough to eat or make a little bit of jam, but regardless, its got alot of fruit on it. Our Plum tree has finally go
t some fruit on it as well, not very much but it will give us all an opportunity to taste whatever is there. In a couple of years, if the trees keep going like they are, I might
have to hire some "happy help" to come and help me pick, wash and bottle everything...and help me to be "happy" during the process. I just have a hard time looking past all of the work! Having summer c
oming to a close saddens me, it almost puts me into a grieving state of mind, not that I don't love Autumn because I DO, but because that means that winter is right around the corner and I despise WINTER!...so if you see me laying in my yard, doing nothing else but soaking up the rays...its just because I am trying to "preserve" them to help me mak
e it through the winter...you know- get my "bottling" of sunshine done, Hey that sounds like more fun than bottling veggies and fruit...doesn't it?! At least it does to ME~

I think bottling sunshine sounds WAY better than bottling food!! Haha. But I can't believe how nice your peaches look, I hope we can someday have fruit trees and all that stuff! I do love sewing, it is very relaxing and so rewarding to look at the stuff afterward. I definitely want to keep doing it.
