Good morning all. Lovely meadow rom p this a.m. and then a walk down to the Lake. There is that lovely nip of fall in the air and some trees on the top of Willow's Mountain have started to turn. I love fall but am also sad when I think of our long hard winter on the way.
Got my preserving (this batch) done yesterday. Discovered that my pear suppy had shrunk considerably - squirrels and DH were at them. I substituted some peaches and green grapes in my Fiesta Pear Salsa and it looks like a winner. Remind me not to store pears in the barn again!
Today I go around to the seven elementary schools in the area to give the kiddies their prizes that they won for schoolwork at Delta Fair. This is part of my job I just love! Most of the prizes are 2 or 3 bucks but the kids are as happy as if they had a million. I did up over 100 envelopes over the weekend and kept thinking of today as I did that drudge job.
Gonna throw in another load of laundry before I take off. The coffee is on the stove - help yourself! A bit cool on the deck but it's up to you!
