Labor Day

My birthday in 1943.

This year it will be Thursday.

The gardens are changing getting ready for fall.

The colors will change to green, browns, and golden orange.

I forgot red and golden yellow.

My favorite time of the year.

Today my husband and son Mark will finish cleaning

the chicken barn getting ready for 100 new chicks.

In 7 weeks we will have 100 fat hens for the freezers.

They will be shared with Kathy, Mark, John, us

and a few folks at the food pantry.

Our freezers are almost full.

Just applesauce to do and potatoes to dig .

Both of those in October.

I will make them a lunch of ribs

homemade mac n cheese and some home made pizza.

The best part will be leftovers for Tuesdays lunch.

I plan to work on my new  quilt "October"

In memory of my mother .

This was her birthday month.

Also my daughter Kathy's birth month.

Enjoy your holiday.

I will.
