My Mother's Day flowers...awe they're precious!

Dayyyyyymn.....the girl can cook...

Mmmm....mmmmm..mmmmm......I was impressed with myself today. I can cook, but a lot of times if I try something really "from scratch" or "completely new" I don't do very well with it........BUT NOT TODAY.......Ya buddy......I made (with Lindsay's help of course....she's my little chef ) Ham & Bean Soup and Cream of Chicken with Wild Rice Soup........and wow did they turn out awesome! I've never really looked at myself as a good cook but today I would have to say I did very well. I even had enough left over to freeze. Whether or not I can pull it off again....we'll see .

Hope everyone had a great new years! I'm gonna try to not be so stressed out this year........hahahahahahahahahaha....Ohhhh my goodness I almost hurt myself on that one!

Mmmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm.....

My house smells so good right now.......baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Homemade Apple Pie! Yummy...

Fall is here...

It's definately fall here now.....temps in the 30's overnight and 50's during the day......we even had a few snow flurries this morning.

Planning on pulling out the vegetable garden tomorrow. It did very very well this year...I just love the square foot gardening concept...this year was one of the best years yet.

We canned 'Apple Pie In A Jar' already with the apples we bought at the local orchard.

Tomatoes are next! Will be making Tomato Juice!

Brrrrrr....ish...

Ooooo it's a bit chilly this morning.......feels good though.....nice change! Of course, tell that to my wardrobe ! Dakota is lovin' it......geee must be the huskey in him...lol.

Friday night fun in the kitchen....

Lindsay decided to have some fun with the camera while we were making creamy cucumbers and taking care of all the rest of the stuff we got out of the garden tonight......

There's more goofy pictures in the album....

Waaaaahooooo we're gonna have grass again!!!!!!!!!

Yeah small change in plans tonight....I was going to ride since it's such a beautiful night tonight.....but when I got home from work, Mike (brother-in-law) was here rototillering (hehe...ya I know not even a word, but you know what I mean) it's been all summer that we've had nothing but dirt down the middle of our yard, had to have dirt brought in to level things out, there was always a huge puddle everytime it rained, anyways.....we had a war with the neighbor so that's why it hadn't gotten done in forever......sooooo needless to say I was very happy to see Mike here tilling away.....I ran and got grass seed and got er done......I'm sooo happy to see straw in my yard now instead of dirt!

Yes the pictures are backwards but I didn't feel like messing with it all tonight! To bad!
