Hello to all -
This is a typical autumn day - sunny, although crisp. We can view our flowers on the deck & in the planters & can see that they are beginning to wither away. We have so enjoyed them - but the seasons change - as do we.
We have done considerable canning & preserving of late. On our walks in the area we found a dolgo crabapple tree just lush with fruit. We each picked 2 buckets & have made apple juice, jam, jelly & sauce. Now I do not miss my crabtree in Calgary since finding this one. Our 2 tomato plants are producing like you wouldnt believe it. I have never seen such huge plants. Grandpa will pick the tomatoes before we leave for Seattle this week & hopefully they will ripen in our absence. Guess well have to can them for winter use. We ate some of our cherry tomatoes & vine-ripened are just delicious.
Last Sunday we hosted a luncheon after Brigham was blessed by his father in the BonnieDoon chapel - where we attended after we were baptized. All we had to do was have the home ready.
Kate arranged a potluck which was great. Guests sat outside on the grass, on the steps, on the deck, & in the living room. The children enjoyed themselves as well as the adults. Karyn & Jim & family came Saturday pm & we were able to have a good visit as well as having Jim see to some of the unfinished tasks about the house. We certainly appreciated that.
September is a big month for birthdays & anniversaries. we wish you well on these dates - we will be in Seattle for 2 weeks looking after Rachel while her parents are in Europe. Great place for a holiday for us.
Do keep in touch - we love your news. Im glad , Spencer, you got positive comments on your quilt made for you when you returned from your mission. It was a joy to make.
Love to all
G & G
