Hi Chris and Holly. So glad you all had a relaxing day. Today was very busy here. John and I made 51 pints of salsa. The last of the jars came off at 7:00 tonite. Tomorrow I have to do my plum jam. I am excited to make it. I haven't had plum jam for many years. Hope it turns out good. So glad that John helped with the salsa today. I don't think I ever made a batch this big all at one time.

I love the little finches. We have a lot of them. They love the sunflower feeder. We love all our birds. We have a lot of really pretty birds this year.

All the celebrations this weekend sounds like fun. I know the kids will all enjoy their birthdays. Taylynn is lucky to have an uncle who will make her jerky for her birthday. That is really special.

Have a great evening. I am exhausted so am going to relax the rest of the evening and go to bed early.

Hugs. John. Debbie and Allie

oh boy I love your garden, I think the pumpkin is SO cute. It will be big and then you can make a Jack O Lantern for Halloween with it.
