The homestead

Just a few more pictures of life around the homestead, these were also taken last weekend.



What is left of the garden. We had another hard frost this morning, I am scared to look at the damage.

Weekend projects

We finally had some nice weather last weekend and we took full advantage of it to tick off a bunch of projects on our list of stuff to do before the snow flies. It was so nice out and we got so much done I figured I better document it!!

Can you believe it?? We have a lawn!! Better late then never.

Our pepper harvest

More of the harvest

The final product

This should keep us warm this winter

Chiva took some time out of her busy day to stop and eat the flowers

The geese are heading out- a sure sign of things to come....

Bob and Ed showed up on Saturday and we put them right to work butchering chickens- gotta earn your keep around here!

We are not sure what Sube is contributing, porch security maybe?

And the most exciting project completed this weekend- we have water!!!

Cletus the fetus

We are pretty sure most of you have seen this aready but Julie encouraged me to do this blog as a way to share baby photos and this is our first one. We are not going to find out the gender but their is some betting going on and I think "boy" is in the lead. If that is true then we can keep the name Cletus :)
This was taken at about 4 months, I am at 5 and half months right now. Just bought my first pair of maternity pants last week- they are super comfy! I wish I had them before I was pregnant.
