I'm so bad at posting on my blog. I have been a little busy, but finally had some time today to get this done. After I conducted my first DUP meeting today, I came home with muchos groceries and knew I was late to get lunches out to the field. As soon as I walked in the door the phone rang and it was Zack asking if I could bring a lunch out to him. I got his and Alan's lunches ready (tuna sandwiches (2), peanut better sandwich, banana, oreos (5), cheetos, and fresca) and took them out to them. Zack was at the Holland place and couldn't get his combine started and the AC wasn't working. Bummer. I gave him his lunch and dashed off up through Grainville to Squirrel to George's place where Alan was working. I drove into the buildings and Alan was way far away combining, so I had to wait for him to come up by me. I thought I would take some photos since I had remembered the camera. The photos aren't great, but that's OK. We started harvesting grain yesterday, and are getting a slow start. But then we had a slow planting season to0.
I also added these pics below of when I was down in SLC in mid August. Just some candid shots of everybody.
Leah climbing the stairs.
For those of you who weren't there, YOU MISSED OUT ON THESE! They were yummy. Ask Rebecca, she'll tell you how to make them. Very easy.
Craziness in the pool. I wasn't sure if they were all trying to get on this floating device or keep each other off.
Cute pictures of summer swimming.
I aked Maren to do this, so don't believe that she was being sour at me.
Pretty babies!
At George's Alan in the distance.
The #10 truck all filled up and ready to go to the elevator.
Alan filling the semi.
Zinnias out in front of the fence.
A big brown sunflower with a bee in it.
One of my four cabbages.
Green tomatoes and green peppers galore!I need it to stay warm for another month so I can make salsa from them.
My cherry 'maters have just begun to turn red. They are GOOD!
The chokecherries. You want them, you pick them. The last time I picked chokecherries, I fell off the ladder and into the tree and hurt myself pretty bad. I had a stretched groin and didn't recover for about a week. Soo, I haven't done that again.
white onions all in a row. I have three rows of white and yellow onion for salsa and storage.
My jalapenos. There are about 12 on this bush.
Please turn red!
Beautiful sugar daddy petunias.
My beautiful Champlain rose. It's a hardy one.

I picked these flowers on saturday and took them to church on Sunday. They look a little ragged now, but they were beautiful. Very autumnal.

I love all of the beautiful pictures. I was wondering when you were going to do a new post. I am glad that you put so much into it. We have been wondering how the harvest has been going. Well, i have realized that my hardest period will be 2nd period in school. They are quite a handful and very much the drop out type. As soon as they come in the door I get in a bad mood. I'll have to work on that. Leah is doing well she is really starting to throw fits lately. She doesn't like getting things taken from her. She holds on really tight and then cries if I have to take it away. She's a goof. I love those pictures that you took of her, maren and esme they are beautiful and cute.
I love your vegie and flower garden. What pretty pictures! How is DUP going? I sure wish we could get up there for a harvest fest again, it has been a while. Thanks for the pics of all the family!
Lots of great pictures. I especially enjoyed the photos of the little girls and your flowers and garden. All the effort that you put into it's upkeep sure makes it beautiful. Putting the fence in was a great idea. I hope harvest is going alright. It seemed like the grain would never stop being green. I suppose you are going like mad now that it is ready. Great to see all the pictures and catch up with you a bit.
Great pictures as usual. I always love pictures of your yard. I agree with A.A. on the fence. It makes a great backdrop for all your flowers. I loved the pictures of the kids. Not so much the one of me in the pool. What were you thinking.
