thursday.

we grew YELLOW tomatoes.

i spent last night canning applesauce and the week before playing with tomatoes.

i still have lots of tomatoes, peppers, brussels sprouts and purple cauliflower.

my children are great helpers.

{yesterday, anna asked if i would let her, drew and ellie can applesauce by themselves sometime.  i'm pretty sure they could do just as good of a job as i do!}

red pepper.

i love the fall!

speaking of falls-- 

poor eve fell on her red, plastic barn this morning.  i'm sure she'll have a black eye.  poor girl.

my tomato loving girl after 'helping' me pick in the garden.

i love being a mother.

life is beautiful!!

today-- take time to see the beauty in your life and smell the flowers!
