Say it isn't so...yet

I looked out the window before going to bed tonight and guess what I saw?

NO WAY - it's SNOWING (ever so lightly, but snowing)

Fall Harvest

Three years ago, we planted a peach tree (we actually planted 2, but that's another story), and this is the first year we got any fruit from it. I know, it isn't the best looking tree - I'll learn about pruning in the years to come - but we have been really excited for our first crop of peaches. I didn't realize the peaches were even ripe until Brandon came over, took a few and reported that they were ready - I was just thrilled to sit and look at them.

Overall, they were on the small side, but they were juicy and flavorful.

I gave a couple of bags away and Curt & I ate quite a few - so with the few remaining, I made a peach crumble. Doesn't look to bad hu?

What, you can't see any peaches? They were there, under that yummy crumble topping

Can't wait for next year's crop! Peaches are the BEST!

Octoberfest 2009

So - another Octoberfest is in the books for us. We had a wonderful time this year - lots of sun, good food and waiting in LONG lines for activities. I think it was more crowded this year than in years past. I wanted one picture with me and the grandkiddies - just one, but do you think they would all cooperate? Oh I love these little ones of ours!

The face painting up there is the best I've ever seen, and they are super fast too. This year Berlynn decided to go for the rainbow look -
Annie, the "I'll invent as I go along" look -
Aren't they beautiful girls?
And this year, Ez tried out the SHARK!
Here's a few more pictures of our activities -
