The Boys Pumpkins

The boys were with us on the weekend and we carved pumpkins, or should I say, I carved pumpkins.

William likes dogs and Charles cats.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Time at the playground.

Lady Ashburn Pickles

Just bottled....5 jars plus one smaller jar.

Fall fruits and vegetables = yummy foods.

Mom was here for the afternoon and supper.

With some of the apples from the orchard we made an apple crumble and apple sauce, both of which we had for supper.

 

Then we cut up cucumbers for Lady Ashburn pickles. 

 They will sit overnight and then tomorrow I add the other ingredients and bottle the pickles.
