Ahhh...Fall





I may seem a little weird putting food on our blog but one of the things I love most about this time of year is harvesting fruits & vegies. I feel my Kansas roots through and through when I pick tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries. In Utah, we had a grapevine and made jams, wine and juice out of the sweet grapes we harvested off of our patio. Last year we planted two grape vines and I have given those plants so much TLC. HOw I loved watching the fruit grow and finally ripen. Today I enjoyed making concord grape pie and tomato salsa. There is just something about picking fruit & vegies off of plants after a summer of watering/caring for those plants, then making a treat out of them...yummmy!

Yummy!! Wish I could eat that salsa right now! You know us Texas gals LOVE salsa!! Your pies look perfect! I need lessons from you! I envy your gardening skills. I always thought when we got a house I would be a gardener, but it just has not happened.
