Nearing the end of Gardening season

Hello everyone,
Gardening season is moving by quickly, It has been really nice raising my own vegtables, it has been exciting learning new things about growing different vegtables. This year I grew a giant pumpkin, I have never tried to grow one before but it happened. It is so big, I'll have to get some pictures on the blog about it, actually here are two pumpkins. One weights about 30 lbs the other about 10 lbs I guess , they are supposed to be able to grow up to 300 lbs, but I'm excited for the size they already are.

We have red beets, green onions,carrots, cucumbers,jalapenos,green peppers, tomatos, and lots of squash --zuchini that is. we had peas earlier in the year, and radishes and lettuce. My sister gave me some apricots from her tree this year ,and so I was able to make apricot jam , my children really like it with pancakes and fried bread scones.

In July, I made a quilt for my Grandson it was a picture of luigi It turned out pretty well.
Also this month I was able to get together with some of my girl friends I went to high school with for lunch at the park, that was really great. It was nice to talk to all of them and see what they have been up too.
Last month I had what I thought was an stroke and I couldn't see for three days. I figured that my life being able to sew was over so I gave away all of my fabric, That was crazy for me because I love to sew and create things so much. But what done is done.
