Autumn is here!

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air."- Nathaniel Hawthorne

I wish I could spend more daylight hours in the open air. To much to do inside.

More Canning Again...



I am still trying to learn this blog thing. I added the more canning and somehow didn't get the pictures and text that I wanted. Sorry about that. I will learn.
Saturday I made some plum jelly. It is such a beautiful color. Tonight Doug and Aggy helped me can 9 quarts of pears. I took this picture before we canned the pears to show how pretty they were. The other picture is of Aggy helping us.

More Canning

Delicious Autumn!

This is a beautiful quote from George Eliot that I love:

"Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it. And if I were a bird, I would fly around the world seeking the successive Autumns."

I can feel autumn in the air. I love it.

Today's thought!

The late summer garden has a tranquility

found no other time of year.
