THE BOUNTY OF FALL

I love all the produce that I get out of my garden every fall.  I have been very busy everyday canning all the tomatoes that I am getting from not only my garden but from the gardens of friends & family.  There is nothing better than knowing that I am feeding my family Healthy, Home Grown, Chemical Free produce.  Here is just a sample of the goods from my garden.....

          These are some BIG Boy Tomatoes.  They are perfect for Juice & BLTs.

                        

 

                                     Getting the water canner all warmed up!

                                 These bad boy Roma's were made into yummy salsa

 Here are my favorite yellow pears & cherry tomatoes the perfect topping to my salads.

Hopefully I will finish with all the canning soon.  Now that I'm done with the tomatoes I can start with all the apples I was able to pick this past weekend.  Happy Fall everyone & enjoy all the fresh produce before its gone!

The Lion of Babylon is set inside the war zone in Iraq.  From the first page I could feel the intensity of this book, I simply could not put it down.  The main character Marc Royce is literally thrown into the middle of nowhere with only a few hours to prepare.  His mission to find some American hostages.  One of which is his best friend.  Along the way Marc meets Sameh, an Iraqi lawyer who takes Marc under his wing & teaches him about his Christian Faith.  This new friendship allows Marc to meet Sameh's family, who against all odds become close confidants and friends.  The author, Davis Bunn did a phenomenal job showing hat Marc, no matter what the cost to himself always did the right thing.  I also feel that Mr. Bunn showed how all the characters were true to their faith & culture.  He also gave a brief history during the books dialect as to the History of Baghdad.
This book is so well written I felt that I was actually seeing the buildings & feeling the pressure, sadness, hurt that all the characters in this book felt.   I highly recommend this book to anyone who like suspense, love & happiness.  It truly will make for a remarkable Hollywood blockbuster.   I look forward to reading more of Davis Bunn's books.
