Harvest is beginning

My tiny little tomato plants have grown into 3 out of control tomato bushes! I have tomatoes coming out of my ears, particularly my Roma tomatoes. Since I personally don't like tomatoes, but I love tomato juice, I am juicing all my tomatoes, cooking the juice with some salt and a bit of sugar, then freezing the juice so I can enjoy it all winter long. It's SO yummy!











I have also started my first batch of homemade blueberry liqueur. It's basically vodka, fresh blueberries, and sugar. It will be ready on October 25th, so we'll look forward to seeing how that goes. If it's delicious, I will start making lots of homemade liqueurs.

Autumn is just around the corner - more delicious treats to be created in the coming months!

It's a girl!

We had the ultrasound yesterday and everything so far looks fine and normal. We are having a girl - saw definite girl parts and no boy parts at all. She is very very cute and I am very excited to be having a daughter :)

Her name is Kira Louise and she is due to be born on 12/25/2008.
