Where Has the Summer Gone???!

So much had happened this past month, I don't even know where to begin!!!

We got new siding and windows put on the house! That means I can open the windows in every room now! Heaven!!!!! And the weather has been absolutely glorious, so I have been doing just that! (No matter that they all still need to be trimmed out on the inside.....I'll get around to posting pictures one of these days...)

I made two blueberry pies within a week of each other. Couldn't help myself....the blueberries were only 99cents a pint!!!! (I froze a bunch too!)  I decided blueberry pie is my favorite pie ever.

We are finally getting tomatoes! Tons of them! We are in heaven!

Oh......I also made a strawberry-rhubarb pie. It is my Knight's favorite.....and was also very tasty. 

We  have been getting lots of green peppers! ~I caught my Knight eating one like an apple the other day. He is planning to even put out more pepper plants next year.

In early August, we spent two lovely weeks out in Wyoming with my Knight's wonderful family. And one of the things we did was play a little baseball. Such happy times! It is always so hard to leave!

On the long drive out I finished up that quilt I posted about a while back. Can you see the ant crawling across the top? That is Nancy. I embroidered her there for my dad........who used to lay on my bed and tell me stories about her (and her friend Sally the housefly) when I was little. He made them all up himself of course, and I loved them! So now he has been telling them to the grandchildren.....and I thought "hiding" Nancy somewhere on my quilt would be just perfect. ( I have to make one for Sally next!;)

We are back at school........I am teaching three this year, so things are much much busier. That is why you may very well not hear quite as much from me as formerly. So don't worry, all is well, just very very busy! Hope you all enjoy these last few weeks of summer! I, for one, am very ready for autumn to begin!
