Going again!

Good morning y'all is my every morning post on facebook.  I had almost forgotten I had blogs.  A dear friend, Amy Woodley,  reminded me as she has started blogging.  We got a late start this morning as we got home late from some friends from church. Haven't written on this in about a year.  Ladies retreat is coming up fast.  Can't wait! 
Got a late start this morning as we got home late from visiting friends from church.  As usual for this time of the year, we are getting the last of the things from the garden.  Mostly green beans, watermelon, some cabbage, some potatoes and sweet potatoes.  Everything got planted late for us, the first and second week of June.  Have been canning like crazy.  Still have persimmons to jam.  I left them sitting on the counter to finish ripening.  Didn't want any sour jam.  Will have more green beans to can also.  Possibly some tomatoes too.  I'm thinking of fermenting the rest of the cabbage.  Never have done that but I'm willing to give it a try.  Also have canned meat for the first time ever.  I had a large deer roast from last year's deer.  I checked online and in some cook books I have and it was easy.
School is going good with the boys.  Two out of three are in high school this year.  It's a challenge at times but it's well worth the effort!  We are also getting things ready for winter.  Soon we will be getting out winter clothes and putting away summer.  We had such a mild summer around here.  Didn't use the a/c all the time either.  What a savings it has been on the electric bill.  :) 

Back to the classroom as I can hear the natives are getting restless.  Not only be blessed but be a blessing too!

Some thoughts,
Elizabeth
