Halloween!

Craig decorated our house for Halloween... One night while I was sleeping!  Complete with a strobe light in the attic, two "people" in different windows with candles in their hands, white sheets covering the furniture, cobwebs galore, black window coverings, and bones and glow stick animal eyes in the yard.

Happy Harvest!

Grapes + Smashing = Juice!

It's harvest time!  And harvest we did.  I'm so impressed with all the deliciousness our yard has produced.  This year we successfully grew the following fruit:

• cherries
• strawberries
• black currants




I ate 2 of these per day for 4 weeks!


• grapes
• apples
• rhubbarb
• and 1 raspberry (that's right just one)

And for vegetables:

• spaghetti squash, cucumbers, zucchini,
• tomatoes, peppers, beets, lettuce,
• sunflowers, thyme, dill, basil,
• red, yellow and purple potatoes,
• and 1 very small carrot (we planted the potatoes too close and they over took the space)

  

  Our sole carrot.

  

 

Love how the hops just took over.



 We've discovered the calming powers of gardening.  It's quite therapeutic to watch things grow and to spend time with plants... not to mention it cuts our grocery bill in half!  We are already planning our garden for next summer.  The obsession has begun! 

Love colorful food.
