A Project in Progress

Thursday, while John and some of the kids were out trying their hands at deep sea fishing, I stopped by a farm and bought Gravenstein apples--my favorite for applesauce. The apples are still sitting on my counter, looking pretty and smelling great. Tomorrow I really need to make applesauce. Or at least by Wednesday, when the canned foods entries are due at the fair.

I knew at the time I signed up for the fair that I hadn't made applesauce yet. I knew that by signing up, I would make myself get on the ball and make applesauce. And yet, here it is Friday night and still no applesauce. I don't know why I have to psych myself up so much before canning; I'm always surprised at how easy and relatively quick the process actually is.

So I'm blogging to the world (or at least to Mom and a few other followers!) to expect photos of the finished project tomorrow. Thanks for joining my little online pep rally. Go team!

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer. She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her. "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall. This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
