We have been busy with gardening and canning. Here is our tomato patch. It isn't doing as well as normal due to mixup in tomato plants. They were labeled wrong and the main thing is the water. We have had rain almost every single day. The sun pops out for a little while and then it rains and repeats over and over.
We have begun to pick our corn. We didn't plant much but I use it in cornbread all winter. We will put up a few cobs whole but cutting off the rest to freeze.
We have been slowly cutting the rosemary back some. We plan to kill out the spearmint. It has gotten scraggly and ugly and I tried infusing it in vodka last year and it tasted like weeds. I plan to start over next spring with new pepper mint and asparagus plants. But I took the rosemary and infused coconut oil and yesterday put some up to infuse with vinegar.
I also made some blueberry health syrup from the last of the berries this year. I added several whole lemons, sugar, tumeric, cinnamon, and ginger. It sounds awful but really it doesn't taste too bad. It will good for cholesterol, inflamation and antioxidant.

Here are a few family photos.
Sonny cooking breakfast. Yes I'm lucky but we really do take turns cooking.
He really is in good shape for 74.
