To the father of my children...

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Autumn at the Pehrson

We are in the midst of our Autumn activities....Carl's garden is great! We are just beginning to reap all of the goodies. So far we have put up a few peaches, beans, bread & butter pickles, tomato soup, and jalapeno jelly (very interesting flavor!)

We have two huge cherry tomato plants that are yielding more every day....there are going to be hundreds of them!!! Whoo Hoo! They are as tall as the corn stalks! Our corn isn't on yet, but will be soon. We have a great crop of pumpkins....about 20 with some that are already oranging up. A mess of beans, a few carrots and cucumbers. Lots and lots of zucchini -both green and yellow- and winter squash.














Our sunflowers are gigantic! Just take a peek....
Our animals are enjoying all of the good weather and good eatings, too.























Of course, there is the porch gang and our sweet little Olivia, trying to catch bubbles! Love her to pieces!!!!




Most of all, Scott is enjoying being outside again...I tried to get a close up of his cute little smiling face as he sat outside after getting home from the hospital. Gotta love this country life!!!
