Praising God!




I am praising God for being in this car with me on Monday!   The roads were wet and I slid off the road into some trees.  I am bunged up and have asmall neck fracture (just have to wear a soft brace) but I am still here!

Pears keep on coming!

We still have pears on our tree!  So I found a recipe for pear butter that uses the crockpot, it is delicious and the whole house smelled wondeful  all day.   God has really blessed us this year with the garden and pears!

Pear Preserves!



Pear Preserves!  I took off a day of work and made some pear preserves, I had the time and I have found that sometimes you just have to take off and do something you enjoy! A girl at work said  making preserves sounds like work, but I told her it was my fun time!  Our pear tree is loaded , I made two loaves of pear bread last weekend.

Beautiful garden this year!

It's coming to an end, but our garden has been beautiful this year! Green beans, purple hull peas, pinto beans, tomatoes, okra, squash, zuchinni and bell peppers!  Everything has flourished from our unseasonably cooler summer with lots of rain!  Below are pictures of my beautiful green beans.

 We canned 72 jars!!
