Onion Days Talent Show

Rachel performed "On My Own" from Les Miserables for the teen portion of the Onion Days Talent Show. I was so proud and sooooo nervous! She did a great job and I am amazed by her ability to get up in front of people. She placed 2nd in the competition which was an added bonus! I love to see her perform and she continues to improve each time. Good job Rachey baby.

She was also lucky to have her Grma & Grpa Frandsen and Grma & Grpa Paulson come to watch. Many of her friends came too. It made her more nervous, but it was great to have them there.

Corn, berries and beans

It's harvest time. We have been blessed with a beautiful garden this year. We have bottled over 100 quarts of beans and picked 16 1/2 dozen ears of corn on our first picking! I have been bottling and freezing corn and beans. I'm getting sick of it too. But, then the raspberries came on and I for some reason, love to pick raspberries, then bottle them. Mmmmm....so good! Now it's on to salsa, chili sauce, tomatoes and peaches! I love this time of year and you can feel that fall is just around the corner.

Our first load of corn.

Emily counted it all for me.

Rachel did homework.
