"One Potato" Thanksgiving

We had a quiet Thanksgiving this year since all our children were at their in-laws for dinner.
Verne thought we would only need one potato for our small dinner, I just didn't know it would be the size of a football. So this was our "one potato" Thanksgiving. We had fun keeping up Brandon's tradition of going bowling, oh did I mention he couldn't come because he was working? It was fun and this year MaryLeigh threw a few balls too. One went very slow down the neighbors lane and had to be retrieved by "Big Al" So fun

Halloween is here BOOOOOOO!

We had a great time at Lindsi and Casey's for Halloween. All the kids and grandkids were there except Heidi's clan. They were really wired. We had a really good chili and mud pie for dinner. Of course we can not forget all the goons and goblins. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

October is gone

This is the most beautiful October I have ever seen in Vancouver. The trees have been electric, just glowing with beauty. We have been busy re landscaping the yard. It seems there is always a new project to do.

Soccer and Pumpkins

Saturday the 4th of Oct. we had fun watching Brooklyn and Olivia's games. After we came to the barn and had donuts and apple cider. The kids picked out the pumkins they wanted and NO MESS IN THE HOUSE. Fun Saturday.

Yard Projects

From the garden I took a large leaf and made a concrete sculputure. It was really easy to do. I copied some instructions on how to make your own. Kinda fun! Verne and I wanted to make a waterfall this year and verne just went with the idea. We still need to fine tune it but since the rain is here we might make this a Spring project. Stay tune for the final. results.

Rhubarb patch kids

Look what we found in the "RHUBARB PATCH" I read that you can freeze rhubarb and so we will, and have "Strawberry Rhubarb Pie" for Thanksgiving. Sooooo, I will freeze the rhubarb and cuddle the cutie pies in the patch. Both ideas are yummy!!!!

From the HEN HOUSE

We are so EGG-cited to be raising chickens again! This time we kicked it up a notch and asked Logan to help. Lucy and the girls will really like their news DIGS and their perch. This will be our contribution to going GREEN. We waste no food. The chicken bucket goes out every day and Lucy and the girls love it. In return, "FARM FRESH EGGS"
