I say it every year, but I can't believe summer is nearly over.
Remember when we were kids and Summer lasted like...a whole year!
Wow!
The busy time has begun...seems like every day something needs attention to get harvested, dried, etc...grapes, rose hips...beans, corn...another few days plums, prunes (which take days and days for me to get under control). The outcome however, is well worth the effort.
How is everyone's homemade blackberry liqueur lookin '?

Organic Rosehips in our front garden.
Interested in some dried organic rosehips ? I'm going to post a few packages on Etsy soon. Use them for tea, stove simmers, potpourri...these dry very nicely and are rich in color; not like the dried primitive hips you see.
And of course, I can't post today without bragging about my lovelies...
