Things have been so incredibly busy as of late, I haven't even taken many pictures. Last weekend I had a wonderful birthday party where friends and family got to join me for my special day. It was so nice to have my wonderful friends from church and family and friends of the family join Dennis, Nicole, and I to share the day. Mike and a couple of his friends were even able to make it. It was a wonderful day, definately!
The Rowleys were over showing us how to can and brought two boxes full of their wonderful orchard peaches. I cleaned out the hall pantry, put down new shelf liner paper, and voila, a great place to showcase our hard work. It was great fun. Dennis, Nicole and I sat out on the back porch peeling peaches. Well Dennis and I peeled while Nicole intermittently ate and stuffed peaches in the jars for us. Once in a while we'd notice that there was a partially eaten peach in the jar! I'm sure we'll come across a few lovely surprises when we go to eat peaches later on... What a great way to spend some family time together, though.
Neighbors and friends have been so wonderful sharing there wonderful fresh produce with us! There have been apples from the Beus', tomatoes from our neighbors and from Grandma Karen, and zucchini too. It's been so yummy incorporating these into our dishes. I've been babying my beans to get my little weekly harvest off them. But they've been wonderful as well.
