Happy September!

Not only is it my birthday month, but autumn starts in just a few weeks - my very favorite season! There's just something so heady about the earthy smell of dead leaves and woodsmoke. It fills up a calm in my soul. :-)

I think today I might make that second batch of salsa. The tomatoes are taking up a ridiculous amount of space in the fridge. Then - on to the applesauce!

For my big 3-0 b-day this year I'm planning on heading, with my family, to the Mother Earth News Fair coming up on September 25-26. I couldn't believe my luck that it is only 3 hours away in Pennsylvania! I say that's a pretty sweet way to spend a milestone birthday. Yay! I'm excited!
