SEPTEMBER- Canning Peaches, Apples, Plums and Prunes!

I have a new peach tree that just started producing peaches this year.  I picked nearly a bushel of peaches from it and I have now canned nearly two cases to eat this winter!

 Today was September 22, 2012.
Then on September 24 we canned quite a few jars of Raspberry-Plum Jam.

There was still time so we canned more peaches...

Then on September 26th we canned more Plum Jam and Apple Pie filling.

While we were at it we decided to make a Plum, a Prune and an Apple pie!

On September 27 I canned 11 quarts of Peach Pie Filling!

AUGUST 25-27- Making Peach, Prune and Raspberry Pie

My early peaches are coming on fast so I went and picked them.

Then we made peach pie!

Next we made Peach, Plum and Raspberry desert!

I love harvest time!!!

Bees in My Apple Tree - April 22, 2012

This morning my apple tree was buzzing with honey bees!

I took these this morning as Mother nature was doing her work!

It looks like another very good crop of apples!

Just think of it: apple pie, apple juice, fresh sliced apples!  Be patient... just a few short months!

Thanksgiving - Nov 24, 2011

Nearly 30 of our children and grandchildren came today for Thanksgiving.  Most came for turkey dinner and some came later for pie!

Thanksgiving Morning brought a beautiful sunrise!

We had sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, dressing, ham and rolls.

Jonathan, Tim and Holly preparing to cut the turkey.

Meanwhile I had fun with the children.

One end of the table...

The other end of the table.  It's a good thing we have a huge table.

And we had about 10 pies!!!

The Chocolate Silk and Coconut Cream went fast!

This was a wonderful Thanksgiving!
