This is us this week! Can you believe it! Still only one night of rain
the last few months. But, as warm as it's
been that wonderful fall smell is still in the air.
Beans are still producing like crazy. We've tried something new
this year, were pickling a large crock of beans, like you
would sauerkraut. Should be interesting.
My Manly Man left for Portland this afternoon for a few days.
His main goal is delivering chickens to our daughter
Sarah. Their a couple months old now, defiantly ready
to be on their own.
 
I'm proud to say that I cleaned out my closet today!
 Since loosing thirty pounds this last year it was time to take out
everything that doesn't fit. Hopefully that'll give me incentive to keep
it off.
I've been doing some fall cleaning since that spring cleaning never
happened, it feels good. Don't tell my manly man
but I'm hoping to make a trip to the dump
before he gets back.....

    I love your line about fall cleaning because the spring cleaning never got done. I totally understand.

    Gosh that looks hot. Not been too bad here either except that it gets cold at night - had to put the fire on for the last couple of nights. Well done on losing 30lbs - another Gosh! from me - bet you look stunning. Our runner beans are having a grand last fling as well. Been filling the freezer up.

 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
