Labor Day Weekend

It was a fun weekend! We ferried one to soccer practice and back, hung out with some new friends, visited Quechee Gorge and Woodstock, VT and participated in the Post Mills Labor Day Parade and Volunteer Fire Department BBQ.  Thetford Academy was prominently parading at the front of the line.

Catching Up

I've finished my first official week of work and I am tired but energized! I am, however, looking forward to tomorrow when I can catch up on all the "things" that are awaiting me  -- especially the two 20 lb. boxes of tomatoes that I plan on canning tomorrow!

I also bought my first pie pumpkins when I got the tomatoes.  Nothing says fall like rows of pumpkins. Here are some from Crossroads Farm where I often go. Also picked up a couple of butternut squash. I can already taste the soup I will make with them. So I am catching up too on a photo of the boys on the first day of school.  The end of this ...
