It was a long week around here, lots of harvesting (our cooler is stocked full of our summer goodies, we have lots of winter squash), saving seeds, canning, and errands. And very little sleep….
Our helpers harvested some watermelon and we loved seeing the teamwork! They had more than a little fun saving sunflower seeds for next season. Now we just need to ensure we lock the seeds up tight so no critters enjoy them this winter!
I made some very colorful salsa for canning. Always so proud to use our own homegrown produce. This might be the best batch yet, I finally used my chunky salsa recipe from Jordyn + Kay Clark | Garden Planning Experts | Homesteaders!! Delicious, it is a crowd pleaser, thank you!!
We also attempted and successfully survived a dinner out as a family of 6! Cheers to officially a month of chaos with our four! The days are long the years/months are too short. 🤗
On our family date we got to try the Pepper Kolsh b**r Jamesport Brewing Company 👏🏻 photo courtesy of our oldest.
Also don’t forget to come out and get your pumpkins- carving, decorating or eating!! Looks like a beautiful weekend!
