We are temporarily down to one car again, so the kids and I have been walking to school. I like having them walk to school anyway (since I had did it when I was in grade school). We have a lot of fun and it's good exercise. Yesterday, Elise started to run, which made Max feel the need to keep up with his sister, so I started jogging (I'm a walker). But poor Elise, who is pretty fast, turned to see if we were catching up to her and crashed...luckily, though it hurt, she started laughing that her apple was rolling down the hill.
We were out in the backyard the other evening and thought this was picture worthy.
We've been blessed with a pretty good garden this year. Our raspberries and blueberries didn't do anything, but we had 8 apples (the dogs ate 6), lots of grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, this was our first batch of regular sized tomatoes, and our pumpkins went crazy!! This is the first one we've picked, but there is another ready and about 6 more just turning orange. Anyone have any great pumpkin recipes that DON'T use canned pumpkin? (We also have had green peppers, jalapenos, and just a couple cucumbers.)

holy pumpkin!
I read somewhere that you can use a pumkin as a soup basket. Just carve out the center. Other than that, I don't know. All my pumkin reciped usually end up sort of blahish. Good luck and post your sweet successes!
I'm so jealous about those tomatoes! I don't know the last time I had a tomato fresh from a garden!
I would cook the pumpkin down to mush and use it in place of canned pumpkin. Just boil till soft then run thru the food processor. My boys LOVED pumpkin, they just ate it plain. But that was when they were 6-8 months old...
Pumpkin pancakes w/ cinnamon syrup sound really good right now, too bad they were all out of plain pumpkin at the grocery store last night!
Nice garden! Yeah! I know I have a pumpkin cake recipe somewhere. You normally use canned pumpkin, so you could just boil and mash the fresh pumpkin. Have you heard about the website allrecipes.com? You can do a search for recipes containing a specific ingredient. That's great you are walking to school. Sorry the car is down. Hope things turn out fine. :)
We love the grape tomatoes here. It looks like you had a great garden this year.
How exciting to have all that produce.
I'm jealous, our tomatoes did nothing.
Great job with your garden! It looks yummy! I cant wait to plant mine next year! :) I am going to grow pumpkins, too, and we are so excited about them. Talk to you soon.
