The garden is putting out some tomatoes! I am going to try my hand at canning some pasta sauce for our residents. Fishing has also been good.

Big thank you to a friend of Heaven's Hands AFH. (Jenny) She provided some organic cherries from her tree, so we made a cherry/huckleberry crisp. It was delicious!
