Most mornings for the past week, breakfast has been a succulent and delicious Brandywine tomato from the garden. Sometimes I might slop up the juices with a hearty chunk of homemade bread, toasted. Two nights of frost here in mid-Michigan have pretty much brought this to an end and Wednesday afternoon Elliot and I picked all of the tomatoes from the garden. Yesterday morning I was up at 4 am, canning!
This weekend will be a wonderful, busy and tiring time of barn work! Bill and I will have a houseful of grandkids, children, nephews, friends and even my Dad to help us get the barn ready for winter. I will be running back and forth between the barn and the kitchen ;)

I will be back here (hopefully) on Monday to share some of the work and good times. We hope you have a great weekend, too!

There is something so satisfying about using your own canned goods from your garden in the deep of winter. Bumper crop this year, I have canned a lot of maters! Stewed and regular.
