Happy September!

This summer has just zipped by!  Here it is September already. That means we are in the middle of harvesting, canning and putting up our yearly supply of food.  Sure makes it nice not to have to buy so much at the grocery stores. Below are some pictures taken here this past month.  We bought 100 lbs of fresh tuna and canned and smoked it.  Of course we had some fresh too. 
 
I have been canning lots of pickles, fruits, green beans, and just about anything I can put in a jar!  I will be posting pictures of our apple cider day which is tomorrow.  We are renting the cider press and will be making cider from the buckets and buckets of apples we have.  Harvest blessings to all!
