MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I WAS ATTENDING CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND ONE OF OUR SUPPORT GROUPS WAS CANCELLED  TILL NEXT YEAR.
 Where has this year gone. ?
christmas is just around the corner, I have most of the decoration done. very little shopping though.
We celebrated with Tom's family  on Sunday  what a fun day.  Sorry that so many were not able to come.
We missed them.  those that were there had a super time. despite the cold.  looking forward to next year.

Summer is over

I don't know weather to be glad or sad  but Summer is definitely over Schools are open and gardens are winding down. We have had a bountiful garden, a little slow getting going but  it sure produced when it did.
 I made salsa today  looks really good. 
next thing is to get the yard ready for winter;  but that is usually a job I like .

Fall

Summer is about over.  I don't think I am ready for fall but it is here. Much yard work to be done to get ready for Winter too.
My project for the next few days is APPLES;   Ihav apples all over  hope to try so apple cider  will let you know how that goes.
