What Have I been doing this Summer??? continued

This wonderful counter top is the creation of my mechanical engineer husband - a budding carpenter?? It looks great and I already used it and I LOVE IT! I don't have to worry about food falling off the board! It is a late Christmas present but all the more precious because he didn't forget.
The tomatoes are the work of the 16 year old daughter. She has been pickling herself silly and when not pickling she is preserving the tomato harvest. We will have food this winter. Hubby has worked all summer to make sure that it happens. Can't say enough wonderful things about him at the moment. Happy viewing!

Hectic harvest

Hi
We have been putting up pickles and beans lately. We have steamy weather forecasted for a few days so I am expecting to be swimming in tomatoes soon. At least I hope so. We had a rain event the other day and my husband was able to discover where we need to make improvements so we can keep more water where we want and need it.
I am planning on being crazy busy for a while. On top of harvesting I now have a part-time job so we can pay the bills.

Hope to post a little more often though.
Take care!
