Ready for Shipping.

She's boxed and ready to Ship to the highest bidder...?

Yesterday's Project

While the US is suffering with a tomato shortage due to the Salmonella outbreak, we here at the W* household are swimming in tomatoes, literally, my 7 big tomatoes plants are ready for harvest, and we can only eat so many sun-ripened delicious tomatoes.

We have given away as many as my visiting teachers, home teachers, VT companions will take....sometimes I think they think we are bit nuts, but I grew up with a big garden, so fresh produce to me is equal to baked goods.

So yesterday with the plethora of tomatoes, jalapeƱos that reseeded themselves from last year's garden, and a lady who was giving away free onions in my neighborhood (I know, random), I made salsa. The only ingredient I had to buy was green peppers, because my poor little green pepper plant may not, (sob, sob) make it.

I have canned salsa once before, it Utah, but never by myself, it w as an "experience". But I am really proud of my 17 little jars. Thanks for the recipe, Amy.

More picts.

Miss L impressed me as the "big sister" yesterday. She is no longer my baby, and is growing up...I know she is only 2, but she pushes little brother in the swing, "tries" to be gentle, and wants him around in general....of course she tells him to take a nap if she wants me but we are making progress.







She is looking like a little girl too. Would you look at this....


As for my boy, he is as cuddly as he seems.

my boy...



look how he's grown in a month, chubby boy
