It's been a while, but we are still here. It's been a busy few weeks.

We have picked apples, corn, zuchinni, beans, beets, and starting this week, even some tomatoes. We have about 20 good sized pumpkins, just starting to turn orange, lots of butternut squash, and carrotts and onions still getting bigger. Since Jim went back to work full time, I started working for NPS, through Northwind, for CWI out at the site. I'm entering freight invoices for payment, and will soon start learning the shipping part of the job. Right now there has not been very much to keep me busy, so I have been reading alot. Three Stansfield books in a week, starting on a Skousan book today, and have three more checked out from the library.

The picture in the middle is our huckelberry outing, with a kid that Jim works with, and his two boys and wife. We went up above Heise, and picked almost all day and brought home about 1/3 of a gallon of berries. It was sure dusty, but the berrys are really good.

The same week that I started work, our house closed in Illinois. It was a good week. We are so glad to have that sold, and we will start looking for a place as soon as the garden freezes, and I can stop putting things in bottles and freezer bags. The kids helped pick apples last weekend, and there are lots more to pick. Even in spite of how many apples they ate!!
