Summertime!

This is my last weekend before school starts this week. I have had a good summer. My mom belongs to a Community Supported Agriculture garden. She (I have gone on a few occasions) once a week on Wednesdays and works for 3 hours and brings home a bushel full of fresh fruits and vegetables that we have been eating all summer. It is amazing how well we feel after eating "FRESH" all summer.

Today we went to the garden to learn more about canning. When I was little my mom canned quite a bit. There is something about eating "FRESH" all summer that I do not want to stop after the growing season. Today we canned salsa, "HOT" peppers, and tomatoes. OH MY! How I wish I could bottle up the smells and make a scented blog post. We bought peaches today and will be canning them on Monday afternoon.

Damon and Mom are going to a NASCAR race tomorrow. It has been on the bucket list for Damon, even though he does not call it a bucket list. I am not going...I don't want to watch cars go around and around a track. I am sure that I will have plenty of pictures to look at...

Have a great day!
