Labor Day

With today being Labor Day, Patrick and I figured we ought to labor some.  He went to help a Morganton businessman move his shop from near the farmers market to smack dab in the middle of downtown (A great location).  He operates the Amish furniture store where have purchased several pieces.  He is a great guy and the opportunity arose so Pat is off helping him move today.

For me, I have canned the last of the tomatoes.  I had frozen them throughout the summer as they ripened and now that the harvest is complete I decided to make the tomato soup that we love. It has fresh basil and onions from our garden in it along with some celery. I ended up with 7 jars of soup and leftover tomatoes were just canned as tomato sauce.  While the soup was boiling down I cleaned out the garage.  It is amazing how messy it can get in a short period of time.  So I swept the whole thing and reorganized it.  It looks great.

I also made a meatloaf for dinner.  I made enough that we have some for tonight and enough for another one to go in the freezer.  That will be a quick meal on a night I don't want to cook.

In between all these activities I worked on Emily's quilt.  It is sooooo cute. Sorry no pics yet.  The reveal of it will be later in the month after her baby shower.


So all-in-all it was a busy day. I think I see a wine cooler in my future.

Tomorrow....PESTO
