Fall time

Yay!! I love fall! I love fall in Seattle because we get some of the best weather of the year, lots of days of blue skies, good gardening and harvesting days, and temperatures in the 70's.

We just got back from a two week trip to the Canadian Rockies- Banff and Jasper National Parks. I will catch up on that trip later...

Jasper started preschool on Tuesday. He is attending a nature based preschool at Discovery Park. They spend alot of time outside which makes me and him really happy :)

Here are some shots of his first day of school-

When I picked him up after school, we had this conversation:

Me: "Jasper, did you like school?"
Jasper (looking me right in the eyes): "Mom... I LOVED it!"

The boys and I went to the garden today and brought home these-



These are a BEAUTIFUL deep purplish color in real life



I have to say that this summer has been the best gardening summer out of all the years we've lived here. Our tomatoes are fabulous! The past two summers have been terrible for tomatoes! This has my little gardening heart very happy. I am canning on Friday! We'll have tomatoes from our garden the whole winter long :)

I'm so glad Jasper loves his school so much! I can see you in him so much in those first couple pictures. And I'm jealous of all your tomatoes...garden tomatoes are my all time favorite and I've never been able to get them to grow healthily in Houston (do you want to come visit and help me?!).

Just found your blog. Hope you don't mind my snooping! Your boys are so big since I saw them a few months ago.
Lucky ducks for going to Banff and Jasper. We fell in loved with Banff and the C Rockies just in June. SO amazing...we were awe struck the whole time.
Those tomatoes are picture perfect too! I failed at the tomato business since moving to OR...so loved seeing your success!!
Take care =)

He and his lunch tote are so cute. Your tomatoes are beautiful. I wish I could pull them off the screen and eat them.
