Her favorite game

It's all about the tower.

And the crash.
We build them up, she topples them over.
Claps and cheers to follow.
Repeat as needed.

    How do you get the tower so high before she wrecks it?

    Dave, we work really fast. It usually doesn't happen.

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Saturdays

  The last few Saturdays at the farm have been busy ones. We've had a number of people out weeding the garden, stacking firewood, hoeing garden areas, planting garden areas, watering garden areas, cutting grass, and brush.... And we are almost done with suckering and painting our newest orchard. We're down to the last six rows (480 trees). It may sound like a lot to some but considering all the rows we have done I'm excited that we're down to just a few! After this Saturday I'm hoping to move on to another Farm project When my dad was alive he was in charge of when to plant the garden, and other Farm chores around the place. This year has been a bit of a learning curve for all of us, figuring out when to plant, how to repair things, and just do all the millions of jobs my dad did out on the farm. For some reason in some of the crops we planted not everything came up. I feel like we would have been enjoying fresh lettuce and some other vegetables by now. It was almos

The summer has been a dry one for us, which means a bit more watering on the trees and garden. We are finally seeing a lot of garden produce for harvesting. Cherry tomatoes anyone??  My farmer has been preparing the orchards for harvest. This includes a lot of dust. He comes home each night after being on the tractor, with enough dirt on him to start another garden. He is getting the ground as smooth as possible, as stick free and weed free as possible, so when we go to harvest the nuts, we aren't picking up anything else. I think I heard him say we are just about done with watering our trees, and the nuts should start dropping soon. In some countries they actually go out and shake the trees or pick the nuts by hand. Here we get to use machinery which I think is a lot quicker and easier.
