This has been a wild week, but also wonderful.We've had Beth and Jame and their sweet girls with us.Its been so sweet bonding with Britton and Lucy....especially Lucy. She just turned one in June and has turned into a wild little toddler, she climbs on and up everything , and along with that comes lots of falling, bumps and bruises, what a doll.
James and Beth have a new working tolit so their moving in today.Their ready!

My friend and neighbor Margie went to visit her mom in Oregon for the week so I kept an eye on her well behaved children Brandon and Cassie. They went to school allday.

Jim gets 400 lbs. of fruits and vegtables today as his pay for moving his bees out in the pumpkin fields to pollinate. Yes, that's what I said 400lbs!!!! (I'm kinda (well, REALLY) glad I'm leaving to go to a wedding over the mountains) We'll take the day off for the sabbath and then I'll be home to help Monday. So, the peaches will probley need to be canned first, then salsa,pickles and applesauce can wiat alittle. I'm always glad when canning season is over, its fun and so fullfilling but, you know the mess. I don't feel like I can keep my kitchen like I like it all summer. I know, complain , complain!

Well, I'd better get dressed and print out instructions on how to get to the wedding.
Jim said I really need to leave at least an hour for lost time. You'd think he knew me or something!

Have a great Sun. Luv ya all!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
