Fall is here, School has started

This is the first day of school for the boys, Aaron a freshman and Logan a senior. This was the only descent picture of the boys I could get all morning as they are in that anti-picture taking phase, as you can tell Aaron has outgrown his big brother.
Fall is here so we have been busy harvesting and canning, I have always had blueberry bushes but have never gotten as many blueberries as I have this year or as big as ones; then I realized why; we no longer have Bo and Whoopi our labradors we had to put down last year. Our yellow Lab Bo in March at the age of 14 due to a tumor that ruptured in his mouth, and then our black lab Whoopi age 13 in November due to tumors in her lungs. I knew they like to snack in the garden but did not realize how much of the blueberries they had been eating, I was thrilled to get a lot of blueberries this year, I even had to freeze some after making muffins, bread and pancakes with the fresh ones. Bo and Whoop also loved to munch on the peas and beans in the garden. How crazy is that?
