What a blur this summer has been!
We finished swimming lessons in August. Max moved to the next level! He has learned so much and gained a lot of confidence.
We finished harvesting our flax last week and are preparing to leave to our next job in Harrold, SD about 34 miles northeast of Pierre, SD. We have corn and sunflowers to harvest early next week.
I have been busy canning as much as possible and trying to keep up with everything else. We haven’t had any days off so we’ve been eating a lot of meals in the field. 
I have made freezer corn, several new recipes of pickles, relishes, crab apple jelly, tomato and peach salsa, and canned tomatoes. August is usually our busiest month it feels like all I do is run in circles. It’s been so dry here I’ve been dragging hoses all over the yard for our garden and newly planted apple and plum trees. The garden is coming to an end and we should have frost by the weekend. I normally would cover my plants and try to get a few more weeks but since we are leaving I will be pulling everything today and try to finish up with the canning by tomorrow.
