So True

Sadly I think this is my cleaning style

Game Camera

Look what the game camera saw in our drive way. A grizzly and a hog. Lucky for us the pig went to the slaughter the next day.

Farm Tree

How cool is this.

Canning

9 pints of salsa
12 quarts of Mandarin Sauce
6 pints pizza sauce
3 quarts pizza sauce

Beautiful Walla Walla Onions grown in Sugar City. They are huge and so yummy!

I love Roma Tomatoes. These are even home grown in the area, not just my home grown. :0)

Mandarin Sauce always makes me smile and happy just because it is so BEAUTIFUL! It just happens to be Stacy's favorite thing I can beside his raspberry jelly.

I am tired but so glad that I did it.

More changes

I grabbed 4 forks for lunch instead of three. I felt lonely this morning when I woke up knowing one of the beds here were empty. Bailey is not sharing the couch with anyone. We don't want to watch "Heartland" without the full audience. It is quieter around here. We have to move the game camera by ourselves. Will miss talks in bed. Yes we miss Dalan and he has only been gone a little over 24 hours.


They announced in church today that tomorrow is family home evening for the empty nesters and older single people. Stacy leaned over and said that was us next year. Grrrrrrr!!!!

Goldylocks does not live here.........

A week ago or so we got a phone call that there was a bear in the neighborhood. He had broke a huge branch off of a apple tree over on Packsaddle Estates. I guess he had been over to Terry Kay's and had been in a grain bin. Well about a week ago we saw that he had been here. By our new shop there were some choke cherries (not very much because of frost) but he had striped the tree of the berries. There was also a big pile of dung. We went and bought a couple of bear tags but haven't thought much about it other than being careful when we are outside. With harvest it was not the first thing on our list to worry about it. Also the other day we woke up and my one bucket of flowers had been dug out and scattered all over the side walk. Didn't think much about it just assumed that the dogs had done it. A couple of day ago another bucket of flowers again right by our door to laundry room was dug out again. Again thought it was probably the dogs. Well this morning when Dalan was going out to help Stacy he saw claw tracks all over our cement pad in front of the garage. It is crazy. You can see where he has walked and his claws and scratched the cement. There are a few places it looks like he really scratched at the cement. Also in our back yard there has been some scratching at the gopher holes in the lawn and dirt is thrown back a lot farther than Stacy thinks a dog would do. Crazy Crazy. I am not too excited about having a bear come eat my porridge or sit in my chair or lay in my bed!
