Jim parked his Mustangs next to each other for Labor Day.

Shelly's new hobby - hydroponic gardening.  The lettuce is so small you can barely see it!

Phase 2 of our solar panel project is now complete.  We should make all of the electricity we need with the addition of the new panels.

Fall spinach - a great crop this year!

We canned 7 jars of grape juice and 8 jars of grape jelly from this year's crop.

Our big announcement - the construction on the inside of the house is complete!!!!!

Jim installed paneling on the wall in the rec room in the lower level.

We just started picking green beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

And beets lettuce and onions.

The coneflower garden.

Grapes on the grape arbor.

Sweetcorn.

 The grapes were getting out of control so we built a grape arbor for them.

5 of the raised beds are planted with potatoes.

 We have now produced over 10 mega watts of electricity!

 Lots of blossoms on the apple trees means we will have apples again this year - can't wait!

 We planted some leftover potatoes (the small ones you can't peel) and they are looking good.

We are having a nice radish crop so far this year.

Jim's new toy.

We had a new driveway put in this past fall - makes snow removal much easier!

And it's easier to get up the driveway into the garage.

View of the garden with the new raised beds.

Yukon gold potatoes.

Pickled beets - first time I ever made them.  Mom helped.

Jim, Mike and Mom split wood while I was at work.

Sweet corn patch - the best ever!

Flowers are looking good along the steps.

The new retaining walls are finished.  Big job!  We all helped.

Sunflowers by the garage - very tall!
