October

 
There are so many things I love about the month of
October.
Today I got to enjoy a most beautiful day and
sit cosed up on my couch
watching and enjoying
General Conference
Lots of messages by wonderful wise spiritual men
on subjects that can help
us be happy. I especially loved Elder Hollands message
on depression. He shared with us his own
experience with depression. I wasn't surprised because his
talks are always full of compassion and encouragement to anyone
that is struggling. I've struggled with depression forever (from my fathers genes) and his words are always comforting
to me.
 
 
 
 
The cannings almost done. Our abundant crop has been shared, canned and shared some more.
 
My amazing manly man does the canning.....I would have quit
weeks ago. The picture above is of his "not so hot sauce". He
wore gloves he was so worried of the heat factor. It's a good thing I talked
him into tasting a bit because it wasn't so hot after all!(of course he's going to try again).
 
Our favorite bean salad.
 
 
 
 
 
hot dog relish
 
 
 
The wonderful (grandpa juice) grape juice!
 
 
Hopefully tomarrow we'll be going over to see a new
baby. She just doesn't want to come!

    Those jars are certainly beautiful, Linda. They will be bright beams of sunshine in our grey northwest winter. I'm glad you had a good day today, cosy on your couch in the sunshine. I can just picture it, in my mind's eye!

 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
