Oh September

September, what a busy month you are.

What with all the canning, freezing and drying going on, it seems there is time for little else!

I love it, I feel like I am channeling the pioneer women of the past, the “salt of the earth” women, the women I so admire and love.

It seems like most of my posts lately have been all about food, canning, freezing and drying it. (Where have I heard that before?) and I figured it was time to do a little update on ME.

So what have I been up to?

Hmmm….

Canning.
Freezing.

Drying.
Hmmm…
Apples and grapes, gleaned from my in-laws, they will be for eating and juicing.
Peaches for cobbler, tomatoes for sauce and Zucchini for bread.
All needing my attention asap.
 
A box of pears for…I have no idea…and various canning supplies, it is September, they live in my kitchen in September.

Eggs that need washing…so much to do.

Really though, life hasn’t been only about food.  There has been a lot of pray, pondering and scripture reading.  Finishing our first read-aloud book of the school year (Caddie Woodlawn, and the kids have loved it).  Refinancing the mortgage for a killer interest rate, while also contemplating a long distance move so we can actually afford to purchase land.  Two dinners to sick neighbors, a leg surgery and some stomach flu.  Learning effective communication skills with Dadzoo.  Making a wonderful discovery in regards to reverence on Sunday mornings.  All the while, loving, laughing, crying and giving thanks for my wonderful live.

How has your September been?

One thought on “Oh September

  1. Our September hasn't been as busy with food processing. Most of our processing happens in june and july.

    Sounds like you've been busy though!
