Tomato Overload

we have so many tomatoes...and really an all-produce overload! i was wrong to think she-ra had eaten everything in the garden.  it is abundant! she did so well for awhile not destroying things...but has gone on a seige; bridon's yellow boots, the hose, bridon's flippers, lawn chair cover, grass, sprinklers, and more digging of the grass.  maybe it's something in the air.  i found shadow the turkey dead the other morning and lilly the bottle-fed kitten disappeared.  well, we've been busy with canning all this stuff....pickles, tomatoes, green beans, apricots, etc while ben cuts clover seed early in the a.m.  the kids help for awhile and splash water everywhere if they can.  emerson runs wild and plays with her chalk or markers if i forget to put them up (see mustache).  i'm only doing a few more tomato items and some peaches after this.  i want to make the most of the beautiful weather with my kids before we get trapped indoors again before i know it! happy canning!

Aren't you glad not everything survived this spring? You really would be on overload! Enjoy the wonderful fall weather!
