Not much going on

Pretty quiet around Poverty Flats today. The weather is sure a lot more pleasant than it has been. I think it is only about 80 outside right now. It will get hot again no doubt, but it won't last long. We're starting to see a few leaves turning red in the Dogwood trees and the Blueberry bushes. They are usually some of the first to start changing. Fall will be here next month. WOW !!!!! where has the Summer gone ? It's amazing how fast the seasons come and go as we get older. Remember when you were a kid, and Summer lasted for a whole year ?? At least it seemed the long. But of course, when I was a kid, I lived in Key Largo Florida and Summer really did last all year.



Granny is starting to get around much better now although she is still sore. She's talking about going back to work in a week or two. Don't know if she will go back to the same type of work or not. Whatever she decides will be ok.



We have been canning tomatoes today. Sure is a lot of work to get all those things in the jars but it is certainly worth it when you are through. We have canned green beans, pickled beets, jalapeno peppers, salsa, blackberry jam, yellow pear tomato preserves, and strawberry preserves as well. Sometime later in the season we will make and can some green tomato pickles. Those sure go good with fried catfish, pinto beans, and hot cornbread. I'm making myself awfully hungry. Think I'll go help Granny fix supper.
