This was my weekend to sit with the grand Bug's,This time we went to the park and Maggie went Tresure Hunting she always finds something at the park. Had a good time and road the bikes home his take a while as the little legs are riding Trikes. Jewel followed and she is even slower being 15years old she followed 1/2 way and then waited for us to come back and pick her up its a good thing we didn't choose another way home! Silly old dog. She saw us coming back and got up waging her tail when I sent Maggie on ahead to see if it was really her. As I didn't have my glasses on. so got home and Maggie and I made home maid Lasange and Cookie's. "Where is the cookie dough Nonie?" Now I know her mother knows how to make cookies from scratch but Maggie was looking all over for the dough in the package. so dinner first and then the adventure of cookie making with a three and two year old. OH LORD. what fun we had. Rowen He ate more Dough than helping Yum Yum he would say as he put the finger full in his mouth. and Maggie had to do it all I just couldn't get the ingredients to her fast enough. I think it was the fastest I ever made chocolet cookies! All in all we had a very tiered Nonie at the end of the Day and the funny thing is Pappy was the one Yawning.
Well we moved the great Hillis Pumpkin and it took both Tom and Josh to move it. Next year we will grow it on a moving dolly. the kids and We got our picture taken with it in the mighty pumpkin patch. With the vines of one seed growing to the pacific northwest we think. For those of you who ever want to try a giant pumpkin make sure you have a big spot one seed grows about 15 feet allaround. Roseannes father (83) asked her if we where growing the attack garden of pumkins as he is fighting it off with his cane. truly looked like the little shop of horror,s back there.
Every one has told her her yard has never looked so good. I worked hard to make it beautiful for her and the butterfly shaped garden is full and has the most beautiful colors. This was a tribute garden for her mother a few years ago.For those of you who don't know Roseanne is my friend who is dissabled and I work for as a caregiver. we also shared a garden this year. her way of getting me to do hers.
Rowen was looking at a grasshopper today and touched the back as it JUMPED again and again. He would laugh and laugh. Its the small that take us back to the simple things that create happy hearts. just to here the laughter of a Boy teasing a grasshopper And a little girl squeeling as the bee's buzzz by her ear. Happy thoughts to all of you ,Until the next adventure ,Love to all.

As summer comes to an end and Fall quickly approaches the days are cooler and the nights even cooler still. the Tomatoes are trying to hang on and continue to turn. I've canned 16 quarts already. and still more to come. the way things are going its a good thing we like green tomato relish. also known as chow chow. Isn't it funny how we work so hard to make the garden s full and then just as they are in there fullest the weather changes and before we know it a new season is here and its time to clean it all up for next time. I Have volunteer sunflowers that have filled our garden and the birds and bees are in Heaven. they sit on the tops of the flower and devourer the seeds upside down and sideways. right know we have baby wood peckers that have discovered them it is quite the sight to watch. (pictures to come) We had corn this year so sweet and good Maggie and Rowen help shuck it for dinner. they had so much fun. and enjoyed eating it to.
