I have some very organized friends that love to organize. That is not one of my skills!! I love putting things in jars and found these pretty labels on the Strangers and Pilgrims blog. "Wonderful Gardener" made them up for me and now I have the jars on the floor of my pantry looking so nice and easy to find.
Here you can see a close up of one.
Two more beautiful peppers from my one pepper plant. There are two more small ones and that is it for this year.
My friend and I are getting together to play piano duets. We are having so much fun doing this!
I dug out a little raspberry runner from around my bushes and planted it in this pail. Hoping it will grow!
Our friends went out of town and said we could pick from their garden. This is what we were blessed to come home with!
Here is "Wonderful Gardener" helping me make tomato juice from some of those tomatoes sputtering all the time saying he would just buy his tomato juice and there must be an easier way to do this!!
Our granddaughter from VA is in town for the week so we are enjoying her. I had bought quite a bit of organic white flour before I found out I had to go gluten free so ask her if she would make up chocolate chip cookies for her Papa. They turned out really well except for the last pan I forgot and left in the oven a little too long!! Oops! They weren't burnt but just a little too brown!
We are enjoying our great granddaughter Nora!
What a sweetheart little Nora is!!
Our Gracie is growing up so fast! She can't wait to be old enough to babysit!! Would you please leave a comment so I will know that you have visited and have a great rest of the week!

What a lovely time you had with your granddaughter and great grands!! I could go for one of those cookies right about now!
Little Nora IS very cute! Aw!
Everyone seems to be harvesting and putting food by. It isn't for wimps, is it?
Awe, looks like you had a great time with the grands. How precious. Oh I hope your little raspberry grows too. Hope you are having a great day. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Glad your flour got used up and that you had a willing granddaughter. That baby is just darling!!! We finally have some grandgirls that are old enough to babysit---but they are so busy they don't have time to do it. lol
This was a wonderful post and I love those labels on your jars. xo Diana
Just look at that beautiful smile on Nora. And Gracie looks so happy to be holding her. I'm so glad you got to have a nice visit with your granddaughter. Those moments are so precious. I'm sure that the cookies were enjoyed and that she enjoyed making them for her Papa. Those labels are beautiful. I may have to check them out. Have a lovely day my friend.
Blessings always, Betsy
Those are all great photos Nancy :) You look like you're all having so much fun! I love the labels!!
How fun getting to spend time with family Oh my goodness that baby is adorable.
Looks like a good time.
How nice on your jars all pretty and labeled.
Our bell peppers have done crazy well this year. But 4 is better than none!
Have a good one.
Hi Debbie from Mountain Mama, Come on over and if there is any cookies left you are welcome to tea/coffee and cookies!!! Nancy
Hi Pom Pom, Thank you! No harvesting and putting up food is not for wimps. I have slacked off (shame, shame) and the tomato juice will be frozen! Nancy
Hi Creations from Cindy, Thank you for leaving a comment! I brought two raspberry bushes from our previous house in 5 gallon buckets. They looked like they were doing so well and I planted them in the ground and they did hardly anything this year so planning to leave one in a pail next summer to see how it does! Nancy
What adorable greatgrands you have!! What is sweeter than a baby's smile??
The pic with your hubby making tomato juice reminded me that I used to have one of those doodads to mash the tomatoes through. Gave it away once the kids all grew up though. Along with the pressure cooker and the big canner!
I hope your little raspberry runner thrives.
I love the cute labels that you put on your pantry supplies. Talented husband you have.
I found your blog through Annabel's. I'm looking forward to getting to know you! Your granddaughter and great-granddaughter are adorable!
I play piano too, why did I never think to invite a friend over to play duets! Great idea!
Hi NanaDiana, Thank you! I am happy to hear you enjoyed the post. Isn't that the truth that when girls get old enough to babysit they have lots of other interests! My organic flour is not used up yet. If Emily has any down time guess what I will suggest! LOL Nancy
Hi Betsy, Thanks! I hope you do get to check out the labels. I just love that Bluebird site and Strangers and Pilgrims as they suggest so many neat things. Thanks for your help on the potholder! I hope to get back to it soon! Nancy
Hi Rain, Thanks! The Bluebirds are Nesting site and the Strangers and Pilgrims blogs have such neat ideas. Love being with family. Nancy
Hi Cheryl, Thanks! I did get a couple other bell peppers off that plant previously. We are not big pepper eaters so this will be just the right amount! We can't help but think the baby is adorable even if we are prejudice! Love family time! Nancy
Hi Granny Marigold, Thanks! Nothing sweeter than a baby's smile and holding them! Love being with family. I never had a pressure cooker. I do have a water bath canner but I am afraid I haven't used it yet this year! Nancy
Hi Cheri, Thank you! So glad you could visit and hope you will come again. I do hope you find someone to play duets with as it is so much fun! I love Annabel's blog. Just wish I could get as much done and have it look as pretty as those talented ladies on there! Nancy
I know what you mean! Would you mind if I put your blog link on my sidebar?
Hi again Cheri, Yes! I would feel honored to have you put my blog link on your sidebar! Nancy
What a wonderful week and such pretty labels. That looks pretty organized to me! It's lovely that you had some family over and those peppers look perfect!
Oh what joy in your life! You're blessed. I enjoy Pilgrims and Strangers, too, but I've not printed out her labels yet. I don't remember seeing those. They're pretty.
Be blessed!

It is so nice to have grandchildren come visit...and great grandchildren! Little Nora is so cute. Your garden plants have produced a lot this summer. Those peppers are pretty.
Nora is so cute!!!! Just love babies! And your granddaughter looks like a beautiful young lady. Glad to see you're enjoying your new home. Sounds like you have very nice friends and neighbors!
Hi Margaret, Thanks! I love the rose labels too. Two of our kids live near us and two on the east coast so whenever they come to visit it is special. Nancy
Hi Laura Lane, Thanks! Glad to have you visit me and hope you will come again! Yes, we are truly blessed. If you can't find the rose labels let me know and I will e-mail you the place. They were shown sometime ago and I saved the site. I just love them. Nancy
Hi Henny Penny, Thanks! We are blessed to have a couple of our children and and a few grandchildren living near by! Hoping my garden will be better next year! Nancy
Hi Leigh, Thank you! We are adjusting to our new home! Thankful that God has blessed us with it. Still trying to get to know some of the people here. Family have kept us busy this summer. Nancy
A lovely post Nancy ... finally I am getting around to visiting all my favourite blogs again!! I adore your jars with their new labels & your great grandchildren are so beautiful! I have finally done a blog post & have put the instructions on for the teasel hedgehogs. Please do contact me if you have any trouble at all with the pattern .... stitchedbyjulie@hotmail.com ... have a lovely day Nancy Xxx
Hi Julie, Thank you! And thank you for taking the time to post about making the te2sel hedgehogs! I love my new jar labels also. Looks so feminine and cheerful in my pantry! Now to find time to make the hedgehogs! I need to update my side bar. Some no longer blog and some I want to add! Will get to it eventually! Nancy
Doesn't it just figure. When you stock up on something you can't use it :( I too have to be gluten free as I have celiac and also collagenous colitis so I have to watch my fiber and sugar intake. Glad you are having a good visit with your family members. Nannie
Hi Nannie, Thank you for your nice comment! Gluten free is bad enough. Glad I don't have to be sugar free! At least not yet! Hope you will visit again! Do you have a blog? Nancy
You have such beautiful children in your life. And your downsized home looks a lot like mine!
Hi Patty Antie, Thank you!! I hope all my grands grow up to be beautiful in the inside also! You will have to share some pictures what your house looks like! Nancy
