Peaceful weekend away from the chaos

We had a "volunteer" pop up in our garden and we thought it was a winter squash of some type that we had grown before. Turns out it's a pumpkin and that I probably shouldn't have given it a trellis to climb on. Squirrels do all kinds of crazy things.

Put up 15 pints of tomato sauce tonight. Freezing the tomatoes first is great for getting the extra water out. As they defrost the water just streams out. We also leave the skin on and blend it.
