August is a busy month on the farm! :)
 Justin's Boss planted a few rows of sweet corn in one of his fields, for friends and family to enjoy. |
 |
| We picked a truck load. Everyone jumped in and we got it done in one afternoon. |
 |

 |
| Mom cutting it off, while I creammed it. |
 |
 |
| Our "Big" helpers! :) |
 |
| Mighty little man. |
 |
 |
| Packing it away for the freezer. |
 |
| We finished with 100 quart! All the hard work will pay off this winter, when we enjoy the corn. :) |
 |
| Dad did some work for a man in Sierra Vista who had apple and pear trees, he didn't want the fruit so we gladly offered to pick it. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Letting the pears ripen |
 |
| We canned about 50 quart. |
 |
| Our giant watermelon patch! |
 |
| We have been getting lots and lots of watermelon! If you come to visit you will be sure to leave with one. =P |
 |
| This is a common picture of what our cupboard holds for those who wish to snack here and there. |
 |
| We make watermelon sorbet... Freeze watermelon then add it, with lemon juice, sugar, water, then (we often add raspberries) put it all in the blender, and enjoy! |
 |
 |
| Cream setting out for making butter. |
 |
 |
| Ready for rinsing and kneading.... |
 |
| In the freezer it goes. :) |
 |
| Our raspberry patch has been producing lots! We get around 2 gallon every time we pick. We already have 68 quart frozen for smoothies. |
 |
| Nothing beats a fresh raspberry pie!! |
Wow, you guys are busy with all those fresh veggies and fruit coming in! It all looks so yummy! Nice post! :)
