Summer of 2011

This summer we successfully grew some beautiful flowers.  Ann planted over 100 bulbs and everyone of them grew.  It was really a lot of fun to have Humming Birds at our place for the first time ever.  It is a lot of fun to grow things with my children.  We grew a garden too but, it didn't do very well.  We were able to harvest cucumbers, zucini, tomatoes, green beans and butternut squash. We made lots of butternut pies, soup and even canned some of the butternuts.  I updated my Web Site about Food Storage and Canning Projects with some new recipes.  Check it out and see if it has any information that might help you with preparridness.  Here is the link: https://sites.google.com/site/michellesfoodstorageprojects/ hope it's helpful I'll try to put the Butternut pie recipe on it soon.

We were very busy this summer as usual.  The boys were in weight training and speed training all summer.  It really helped them to be ready for football this year.  Michael, Ben and Robert were in the 24th of July parade and the corn festival parade.

 We had some really strainge weather this summer.  We actually had several Tornado warnings for our area this summer.  We also had huge hail storms.  It was a very different and busy summer.
