Apricot Heaven

Had a good example of making the jam making look easy. Here is Hayley stirring two bowls at once listening to a three min. song for the last stir before the jam gets to the bottle.  Bryan and Brianne also did jam leather . And froze the rest of the apricots for shakes. Nancy srained hers in the Victorio strainer and made leather all in all a big family effort to put up fruit,. What a family of great workers. I love ya for it!

Bday party

had the fun of Helping  with Hunters bday party at a pond in Farmington, Dad and Bryan did all the lifting if canoe and trampolines, Brianne did all the food. And I got to come along for the joy of it all.  Fun tomes

Summer and Getting ready for Winter go together

Oh how I love summer. Morning walk are easier. Laundry easier for example Drying  rags and sheets outside preparing food easier. As we can run out and grab good fresh food from the garden. Started out the month celebrating hunter Kaci and Stephens birthdays. And family gathered around to do sparklers after our family dinner

Best year ever in 24 years for raspberries

Loved the raspberries this yeAr. They go watered more with the docker sprinklers brad and Kerri provided for us to install. Oh the sweet treat if plain berries. Also berries in jam. Or on a raspberries cupcake or in wales or beside waffles. Or shaing them with those you love

Call family gathers from afar
