Picking the Pumpkins 2016

It's that pumpkin picking time of year again!

The pumpkin patch was supposed to open Wednesday afternoon , but because of rain it didn't open until Thursday ..They are sold by the carload so it was time to fill up the car :)

Look at all those pinkish and aqua pumpkins.. Don't you just love this time of the year!

I came home with 109 pumpkins and a bunch of gourds..

My front flower bed is lined with all the pumpkins.. there are some on the porch and in the vintage wheelbarrow and rusty wagon..

a galvanized tub that I filled up with empty pots upside down so it looked like a full tub of gourds but they are just sitting on the top.. pumpkins and gourds got added to all the flower pots..

I just mowed the lawn yesterday and it already looks too long in these photos.. I have been mowing twice a week and we haven't really been having that much rain ! I will be back soon to show you more of the Fall front porch!

Happy Fall!

Strawberry Picking & Freezer Jam

Good Monday Morning ! Hope you had a great weekend ! Yesterday , we went strawberry picking at Thompsons Strawberry Farm. This is the same place we pick raspberries and pumpkins. We picked 6 containers of strawberries... 4 for me and 2 for my 2 oldest kids.

We made starwberry freezer jam out of 3 of my containers of strawberries , and we kept one to eat.

Our Walmart was out of this kind of Sure Jell , so I tried what they had and didn't like it and went to another store to get this. If you have never made freezer jam , it is very easy, especially if you use this box :) I follow the freezer jam recipe inside the box, you just mash your berries , add the sugar , and cook this pectin with water ..mix together and put in containers.

The youngest grandson had to taste every berry we put in the boxes.. he was so funny.

The two brothers .. you can see the strawberry face and shirt on the little one :)

This was our pickings from yesterday , aren't they gorgeous ?
I took this photo on Saturday night .. He loved the popsicle , and the faces he made were hysterical :)

We made another trifle.. This one has banana pudding , I used 2 pkgs of instant jello pudding. Whipped heavy cream, bananas and vanilla wafers. Got to love this photo with the vacuum and everyones shoes in the background :) Thats real life around here !
Hope you have a great week ! !
