Still producing..

The garden is still producing..but is almost gone..this is one of the last baskets of peppers and tomatoes that will be harvested..guess I will make a few runs of salsa from it..

A few more grapes..a few more pints of jelly.

We are planting our fall crops now..Lettuce, cucumbers, mustard greens.. I usually can most of our mustard greens from the fall harvest :)

We have been blessed with a bountiful harvest once again.. Fall is in the air and hunting season is right around the corner.

God is good!

 We  had  "higher" bg avg.'s last week...Guess it was a growth spurt..

BG numbers are looking better this week... :)

Figured I would take a picture.. lol

With Isaac being eleven and heading into puberty...and all the growth spurts he will be facing, I am sure his bg's will be even more of a challenge...and his honeymoon phase is slowing down.. But we will stay strong and do the best we can..That's all we can do. I am thankful that God is in control.

A new book to read :)

I got this in the mail this weekend.. :) I plan on starting it as soon as I finish " A Cure For Emma"! So thankful to be able to read/have books on/about type 1 diabetes!!

Freezing bell peppers...

 I gathered some more peppers from the garden.. I washed them and removed all the seeds.

 
 Then I diced them into small pieces..



I place the peppers in freezer bags and put into the freezer.. remove the amount I need for chili,soup,baked beans,etc.-then put the bag back in the freezer.I had 5 quart bags this time.

A cure for Emma!! Another book to read :)

     Glad to have recieved another book in the mail. I am looking forward to reading it. Thankful that some of the proceeds will go to research for Type 1 diabetes * Dr. Faustman's Lab!!! :)

Copied from http://www.juliecolvin.com/: To help facilitate the cure for Type 1 diabetes, we would like to directly support the remarkable efforts of Boston's MGH Director of Immunobiology and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School — Dr. Denise Faustman — who has already cured mice of this disease and is proceeding forward with human clinical trials! A percentage of every book sold will go towards the incredible advancements of Dr. Faustman's Lab. For more information on Dr. Faustman's work please visit her website www.faustmanlab.org

Another low :(

37 yesterday !!!!!!  (after swimming shortly after lunch)

Isaac had a bg of 35 last week(prior post).... He has never been in the 30's before this!! Hope to never see numbers this low again!!!  :(  Honeymoon Phase..I believe it needs another name! His insulin needs have increased the last month...then I guess his pancreas decided to start working a little harder the last week - so we have raised some of our I:C ratio's.

Football season is in full swing!! Doing bg's before/during/after..going pretty well.

Where is the time going! ? 

Thankful for my many blessings :)

Canning vegetable soup :)

We had Homecoming at our church yesterday and I had plenty of beans and corn left over so I decided to add all the extra's in and make a run of veg. soup. I canned 9 quart jars today. I added beans, corn, garlic, chicken broth, cabbage, carrots, onions, salt, pepper and potatoes. After I simmer this mixture in a large canner I put it out into my jars and put the lids/rings on them and put into pressure cooker and cook on 10lbs. of pressure for one hour. I usally make veg. soup from scratch and serve it that day but having some canned makes for a quick meal. When I open a jar I also add some cheese/milk as I am heating it up and serve with cornbread :) It is a chilly day here.. You can "feel" fall in the air..this soup sure will taste good when the snow is flying..
Thankful for all of my many blessings.
