some picture of September
Most of these were taken while I was at work. I have the best job ever.
One from the first day of school. 3rd grade already!
and one from 8 years ago. Time flies

I really love the fall
We had a few days of really intense humidity, but that is all behind us now (I hope) and the fall weather can commence. I've been really lucky lately and my friends and co-workers have gifted me with zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, jalapeños, potatoes, and more! Today I canned three things:
Dill pickle relish, my very first time. I never knew turmeric was magic, but now that I've made this, I know it for a fact. Fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly, but left out the sugar.
Pickled jalapeños, a necessity for me. I was true to the recipe, but canned them for 10 minutes instead of 5. It just seemed prudent.
Lastly (for today), was almost-Branson's pickle. Dave and I have been missing it on our cheese sandwiches. Doesn't look overly appetizing, but it does taste delicious.
Next on the agenda is zucchini relish for my Grandma (I hate the stuff, but she will love it for Christmas). And then more dill pickle relish for my sisters. I also bought 1/2 a bushell of apples and one of pears, so I can make pear mincemeat and applesauce. The fall is for canning!!
The girls also started 3rd grade, they are enjoying it!

UP, Michigan
Labor Day weekend, we took the three day weekend off and went up to the UP. It was fun, relaxing, and very pretty.
