This Week….

Bryce built a kiwi arbor.

Did you know kiwi grows in Oregon?

Well it does.

You should come visit.

Spencer got new shoes (which he won’t let me take off)….

….and chased and caught chickens and sat in chicken poop.

And realized the chickens are laying their eggs in the duck house.

One may wonder why I have a lot of pictures of Spencer…it’s because he follows me around every.where.  Sometimes happy and sometimes crying and sometimes poopy and sometimes a combination of two of the three.

Elizabeth started 2nd grade.

I picked 2lbs of green beans and the first of the corn.

I would like the record to show that after four attempts at sweet corn, I was successful this season.

I’m feeling pretty good about that.

Made tons and tons and tons and tons of tomatillo based salsa.

Maybe no tomatillos next year.

And better tomato cages.

Before

Ate this rooster for dinner

(Sometimes I sound like such a hippie.)

Put oars up in the sun room above the windows.

This weekend we’re chipping up branches, canning pears and putting in the start of a sprinkler system so that we will have lovely barefoot grass….in a section of our yard anyway.
