painting, freezing, canning

• painting my living room lemon verbena.... and loving it
• canning albacore and tomato sauce (thanks to lisa)
• freezing lots of blueberries (thanks to patti)
• need to pick lots of blackberries and make jelly (blackberry jelly is our favorite)
• loving sliced veggies drizzled with olive oil and vinegar and sprinkled with salt, pepper, and goat cheese..... yum
• parts of my flower bed are really looking beautiful this year (the part i photographed).... the rest is hanging on but if i don't figure out a way to protect them from the chickens they will be doomed
• that winter banana tree is just covered with apples this year (hard cider here i come!)
• after a lot of loss we finally have a steady flock... and we are starting to get eggs again!!
• i've been experimenting with making flowers out of book pages... we turned a few into hair clips and i really like them.... maybe i'll share a tutorial in the near future.... would you like that?
• school starts in two weeks and it's bittersweet... on one hand i'm sooo ready for it... but on the other hand i am so sad that summer is already over.... there are definitely some things i'm going to miss

well.... that's what has been going on in our lives lately.... what about you?
