My Garden Runneth Over

Well, tis the season for the harvest and I have been busy canning. Salsa is what I have been making. I canned another 21 jars last night to add to the 27 I did a few weeks ago. Guess what? I still have tomatoes. Any one want some?

I also have had an abundance of cantalope. Picked another 7. I love cantalope, but enough is enough. I have started taking them to school to give away. The watermelon is just ripe now too, and I had 7 of them. I may need to take some of them to school to give away too.

I'm not complaining, we have had an amazing amount of food out of our garden. I think of all the dollars saved by not having to buy fruits and veggies at the store. And on the plus side, they are so fresh right out of the garden. I wonder if my success was due to Emily's sprinkling of the mysterious fertilizer? Could be.

Hey, I'm Blogging


Diana came over and finally showed me, I'm not very technical, how to start a blog. I should probably say a little about us.
Carbon and I were married in November of 1974. We have six wonderful children, four girls and two boys. We moved to Utah in 1977 and have lived here since then. Carbon works for IHC and I work at a local elementary school as a reading aide.
All of our Children married within a 6 year period so I became an expert at being, mother of the bride and mother of the groom.
Sarah and Jason are the oldest couple, they have 4 children and are expecting #5 in January. Carl and Linda are next, they have 2 children. Then there is Amy and Jeremy, who live in California, with one little girl. Next is Alan and Jenny who have one little girl also. Then comes Diana and Will who are expecting their first soon. Last is Emily and Kelly who have one little boy.
