There was a kitty on one of our fenceposts this morning.

They are painting the water tower in town.  They put that large cloth cover over top, and there are ropes dropping down to more cloth on the ground.  Last Monday, the cloth that is on the ground was pulled all the way up.

My daughter is so much more willing to sit down and draw and color than the boys ever were.

These are very tasty.  But they're only around for a few weeks in the fall.

They're trimming the trees anywhere near the electric lines along our road.

I had to use a 2 quart jar because I ran out of quarts and pints.  That means I'm done with tomatoes, right?

There is a festival in town this weekend.  My younger two kids' school marched in the parade and I joined them.  Each classroom dressed up as characters from a book.  My daughter's was The Grouchy Ladybug, so she got to dress up as a ladybug.

She does play with girl stuff once in a while.

My daughter took part in a sidewalk chalk contest sponsered by the town's new farmer's market.  She didn't win, but they did give us a nice re-useable bag.  And I bought some apples.

I'm still taking pictures with my new lens.  This is water drops on my burning bush, which seems to be changing to fall colors already.

The sun was shining just right so there were colors in the mist.

I think goldenrod is another one of those weeds that would be a pretty flower if it didn't re-populate itself so easily.

I got a new macro lens today, which is good for taking close up pictures of small things.

My son and his high school locker- the furthest one you can get from the main entrance (and his bus home).  Somebody has to have it... and for the next 4 years it's him!

Working on making some plastic parts.

One of the interesting things about canning is the jars.  I have jars that I got from both of my grandmothers, my mother in law, aunts, a few that I bought, and mom and I still share and swap as needed.  There's several different brands and shapes.  Some have a rounded bottom and some are square.  It keeps things from getting too boring.

We had a lot of tomatoes ready.  After boiling the juice down by about 50% to thicken it, I made 27 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 9 quarts of tomato juice.
