A Pirate...

Brittany and Danika

Arrh!

Why a pirate I do not know but a cute one she was. The knickers were mine as a child, tights were from Ragdey Ann last year, shirt from Savers (thanks Donna), Hat from the party store (thanks Tutu) and the vest I made.

Chucky, Cheesey and Real Cute!

Need I say more???

Tuli 4 months 13 lbs 4 oz! 24 inches long!

Halloween House

Brian bought a Halloween House at Walmart in Sterling and brought it home and he and Danika built it. I wasn't made of bricks but it was a good substitute.

Crash

Right after this she tripped on a box and whacked her head.. funny none the less!

Sunday

I meant to post this Sunday night but never got around to it. I will all my days could yeild such results!

What did you do today? Most days I look back on it and wonder where the day went and why I didn’t get more done. Then I have days like today and wish they were all this way, just with a little more sleep.

-Got up earlier than I wanted
-Ate a donut delivered by Daddy and Danika
-Cut up tomatoes and then left the kitchen so my Mexican Husband cook his 19 burritos for his week in Sterling. I really do swear he was a Mexican Wife in a past life.
-Dug through my potato bags to reap my harvest… ha that was a joke!
-Almost got my onions planted, fertilized and put sand down. I know planting in Nov. It was 75 degrees today.
-Went on a picnic with Bob and Donna
-Canned 8 jars of tomatoes
-Got 12 free windows from Freecycle for when Brian builds my greenhouse
-Went to dinner
- Wondered if Tuli is teeth because she is clingy and didn’t want to sleep
-Made 18 jars of grape jelly
-Cleaned the huge mess I made in the kitchen now I just need to clean the house!

So there you go. If all days were this productive… I would probably have more projects going on.

The last of the garden goods

Onions!

Basil Flowers

Herbs!

I have to say that I was so please with my garden this year. When Brian and I were looking for houses It was very important that we bought a house with a good area for a garden. Some things did great like my tomatoes and carrots, other things not so much like my pumpkins, squash and beans. Somethings I can't wait to plant more of like onions (they were so sweet!) and other things that won't plant again like broccoli. My peppers I will start sooner inside so hopefully my crop will be better. In theory I will have a green house for next season. We got 12 double pane windows from Freecycle on Sunday. Now Brian just has to build it... if he ever finishes that silly motorcycle. Here are some pictures of the last of things from the garden. I have been drying, freezing, and canning things for a month now and finished up the last of it this past weekend. For as much as I wish we could be totally self sufficient and I could grow and preserve all our food for the winter, I am very thankful for the grocery store.
