Cooler weather here. Homecoming was this week, so we enjoyed and crisp Friday night football game (we lost) wearing sweaters.
Cooper is all better, pnuemonia knocked out and cough all gone. He also lost 2 teeth this week.
Scuppernong grapes are ripe on the vine, so we are making a grape pie this weekend. Never made one before, so we shall see if we like it. Scuppernong jelly is quite lovely. Real grape flavor.
Pears and figs also ripe. Too much to do in the time allotted.
Eli is enjoying cross country. Big meet this past week. He was 41st out of over 80 kids. He was discouraged, but we reminded him that he is only in 6th grade and competing against 6, 7 and 8th graders, which is a huge difference in strength and skill. The important thing is to keep beating his individual best, and then he will know he is getting somewhere. He is also working on his physical fitness merit badge for boy scouts.
That's all from here!
