Loving all the produce!

I think my favorite time of the year is August and September when fresh produce in abundance everywhere! This year chad planted a huge garden on our property where we are building our house. We have had tomatos, squash, corn, and cantalope coming out our ears! He even planted pumpkins for the kids and carved their names in them so it looks like it grew with their name in it. :) I've been loving my fresh tomato sandwiches and zuchinni bread!

Not only do we have a garden full of veggies, but the house we are house sitting at has all sorts of fruit trees in the back yard! The girls get a kick out of helping my pick the apples and peaches. I've been able to get some good canning in and some yummy apple and peach crisps for dessert!

Why can't we get fresh produce all year??

It's not fair that it all comes at once and then it's over!!
