Ah, if only the rest of humanity would look on animals as compassionately as you girls.
Molly also says "Roo-roo" for the complements.
I know I've talked about canning and jelly making a million times this year already, and probably thought you'd heard the last of it {so did I!}, buuut... A few days ago Mum was given thirty pounds of home-grown grapes. Yep, you heard me right, thirty pounds of these little guys.
I don't know what were going to do with all of them, so for right now they're all in giant plastic bags in the freezer chest.
They don't taste like store-bought grapes either - they taste almost exactly like those little candy suckers you get at the bank! I don't know if you find that weird, but I do.
Speaking of weird...
I thought it was so funny the way this photo turned out. I didn't place them at all, and it was only when I edited it that I saw what appears to be a riot. {... I could say something about the Grapes of Wrath, but I won't...}
I suppose it's inevitable that we'll can a few, and maybe make juice and some jelly from the rest, but in the mean time....
Pumpkins anyone?
We harvested seven large jack-o-lanterns, two tiny premature ones, five turk's head squash, four baseball bat sized summer squash{not to mention all the smaller ones}, and millions of cherry tomatoes and decor gourds. What a great year for gourds and squash!
Little brother and I also went adventuring the other day and this time I brought along the camera. Unfortunately I haven't the time to post those just yet, so I must say Adieu to you, and you, and you, for now anyway. But do you have a garden?

As a side note, could you please pray for my family. We're having a rather rough and tumble time at the moment. So if you could it would be greatly appreciated.
{I couldn't resist sharing just one picture from our adventure :)}
My family has a garden. :) We planted watermelons, cantaloupes, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and cucumbers. My favorite would have to be the watermelon ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should make grape juice, pies, or cobblers from your bunches of grapes. ;)
Wow, I'm licking my lips! :D Love the "wrinkled grape" photo - that is sooo funny. xD
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and I'll be praying for you guys.
Funny grape photo! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWe had a garden this year. We had: eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, watermelon, kale, pumpkins, squash, and some other things too!
Will be praying for you and your family.

Hehe I like the grape riot. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for your family. I hope things get better soon.
