Bumper Crops
It is already starting out as a busy week here. On Sunday Olive and I headed out to the Sauey house. They had all just gotten back from the Sauey family reunion up in Door County and were tired but Momma still helped me can ten quarts of tomato juice that evening. This is the perfect base for chili and I can't wait until it gets cooler around here.
The next morning we sifted back through the baskets of tomatoes and we made spaghetti sauce. We got thirteen pints of sauce, which Grethcen declared tasted better then Prego. I have a few tomatoes of my own from our little garden and I'm going to see if I can put away some diced tomatoes on my own. It could be a disaster...
Then there are these little pretties. We picked a bowl of these peaches last weekend and I cleaned off what was left on Monday. This is the first year Momma's tree has had peaches so we were all very excited to pull one off and stand right there and eat it. Best thing about summer, peaches. Scott and I had three peaches on our tree last year and this year nothing. We're holding out for next year.
I'm really sad I wasn't able to make it up to the reunion and I'm sorry I missed everyone. I hope you are all doing well and I'll look forward to the next time we can get together. On a different note: Congratulations to my cousin Ingrid and her boyfriend Matt, who got engaged last week! I am very excited for the both of you and when you start to plan things out, feel free to come over and go through my extensive collection of Martha Stewart Weddings. Love you both!
