Friday's Photos from the Farm

Here are a few photos from around the farm. It is starting to green up and it's so lovely to see. Color is a beautiful thing! 

And the kids have enjoyed the warm weather and being able to play outside! Enjoy your weekend!

Friday's Photos from the Farm....

The farmers favorite time of year has to be harvest. It's when they reap the seeds they have sown.  A year of tilling, planting, fertilizing, getting stuck pivots out, and lots of prayer have come to fruition. I love the smell of harvest. You can step outside and smell it on the air. The air is crisp and cool in the morning, warm and sweet in the afternoon, and chilly in the evening. In the words of Anne of Green Gables, "I am so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers."

Friday's photos from the farm

Yesterday morning (Friday), I woke up to this....

And ended the day with this.....

I had got 5 boxes of pears through Bountiful Baskets last Saturday, and Friday we canned. All.day.long.

80 quarts.

They aren't all pictured here. And we did use 1/2 gallon jars for most of it, but they equal two quarts. 

I.was.so.tired.

But aren't they pretty? There is something so satisfying and comforting in knowing you have food stored away. I have the best mother in law. And she has the nicest  friend who volunteered to come and help.  Fellow canners, unite! :)
