TRUE LOVE!

I went to Randy's cousin's dairy and took pictures of their kids working and helping milk the cows. What a great experience. You can't imagine how hard everyone works including the 4 young children. Everyone has a job and every job is important. I think of them everytime I grab the milk out of the fridge. Not just a little peck but a great big smooch! Watch out boyfriends.

My grandson Price loves to help with Fall Harvest. He loves to pick, sort, wash, blend and top it all off with a PB&J sandwich.This small bucket of plums made some darn good plum jam. My favorite recipe is in the MCP Pectin box. I prefer freezer jam. It is simple, quick and delicious!
