September 2018-Notes

I have yet to post some pics as my camera has had some issues lately. The family has been busy putting up the harvest we've invested in lately and there hasn't been time for much else. As you know, there has been lots of smoke in the skies, making it horrible to breathe from the wildfires, even hundreds of miles away, all along the West Coast, and we've all had warnings to keep indoors.
Oregon has beautiful farms and the produce is just out of this world. There's an abundance of pick your own "berry farms" nearby and we've gotten

so much. The blueberries, Triple Crown blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and more. The produce is from the local farmer's markets or the organic shelves in the local groceries. When the harvest comes in, there's much work to do. Also, some good eats to share.

Next...will send shots of the canning goods. Lots of jams, fruit, relishes...yum.
