"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms."
This line is from one of my all time favorite movies, You've Got Mail. I was thinking of the newly sharpened pencils as I started putting this post together. It just feels like fall. School is back in session, it's turning cool and the harvest is on.
We have been enjoying so many good things not only out of our garden but from my parents garden as well as farms and orchards around us. I made a batch of blackberry jam using aplums the boys picked at a neighbors house. It's really the first time I've succeeded on my own. Yippee!! We have also enjoyed some beautiful corn from our bigger garden. This year the children sold the corn door to door and earned over $28. It was kind of their end of the summer fund raiser. (We have such kind and generous neighbors.) And then there has been one of my favorites, watermelon, a first for us here. They are so juicy. I love them fresh from the vine. We have also been enjoying carrots, broccoli, peppers, cabbage and onions. We are waiting for what looks to be a great peach harvest this year as well. I love harvest season! I'm already making plans for next year. I love this time of year!
