They're from my afternoon of canning grape juice. We have an overabundance of grapes on the farm this year, so yesterday afternoon found me cooking grapes and doing all the fun things to make them into juice. It can be a bit messy...
Our grapevines are more than 120 years old....they were already there when my great-grandfather bought the farm back in 1890. Amazing to think about....I also finished writing my notification letter to homeschool. I should have mailed it on Monday, but today will have to do. I have to go to my aunt's to pay her bills today and I have some errands to do.
Beth has her first scrimmage soccer game tonight. She has literally only been home to sleep since Sunday. It's soccer training week at school and she gets up early and doesn't arrive home until late evening. It can be a bit tiring for her and adds tons of laundry for me to do since she's not home long enough to do it herself.
I stayed up late watching the end of the Olympic gymnastics and then had trouble sleeping anyway, so today could be a long day. But at least the sun is shining and I always have the peace that going to noon Mass brings....
Will started his new job teaching religion at a local Catholic high school on Monday. He has been in my thoughts and prayers a lot these last few days as he begins this new phase of his life.
Next Monday, school will begin here with me darlin' boys. Both of my boys are now in high school. Unbelievable. Year 15 of homeschooling. Four more to go....
A blessed Wednesday to all....

ohh, thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to check our grapes before the birds (or neighbor kids) beat me to them! I've got juice to can as well.
God Bless!
