My soup pot has come out several times this September.

The swathing is finally done and combining will start when the combine is ready to go. Too bad you missed that photo Judy but if they're in the neighbourhood it may happen again. That soup looks delicious and the ingredients are handy here...maybe one day this week...Speaking of recipes, my friend in Nanaimo raved about your Nanaimo Bar Ice Cream Cake for at least 10 minutes this morning. She said it's absolutely the best dessert she's ever eaten and so on and so on.
