Fall 2011

Brandon and Austin had alot of fun "building" an addition to their play house. They used some material they got from Mr. Ted and Mr. Gary:

Video of the boys on a summer afternoon

 

The summer went by so fast and it's hard to believe they now are in 3rd. and 5th. grade :)

They both like their new teachers and friends, and I enjoy their stories at *Kaffe when they get home.

(*coffee and snack time @ 15:00)

Next week AWANA starts again at church. The boys are looking forward to seeing their friends there again and learning more.

Here're some pictures from that day:

Janes garden

 Finally I got started on some garden projects - with a lot of help from far (aka my dad, Niels). AND this awesome tool far sent me from Denmark:

Et skuffejern:

I had already (accidently) planted a pumpkin next to our stoop. (As last years jack-o-lantern and other pumpkins started to decay, I rolled them off the stoop and down behind the Cana-lillies....and one of the seeds sprouted! 

Pumpkin in May

The boys got very excited and gardening is a great thing for kids to do, so for my 40th. birthday this year I asked far to help me out.

He tilled a triangular piece:

And we planted some nice flowers:

I went out and bought a tomatoe plant, and planted it in front of the porch. far helped me tie it up, so it has some support as it grows (it's right next to the blue flag):

I also got a Daisy, a Basil, some Johnny jump up (mini-stedmorblomst), some Chive (which have yet to sprout...), and some Carnation, that died :(

We already had a Rosemary, and I planted a pineapple-top next to it - we'll see if it grows.

Basil and Daisy (before the flower grew.)

Here they are now.

The Pineapple in the Rosemary pot.

We have also harvested the first pumpkin:

Now I just have to find out what I wanna do w/it....Halloween is still some time away. And what's further more; we have 3 more on the way, that will be ready right at the end of october!

So this one is going to be made into pumpkin bread or jam or something... we'll see!

The Basil and Rosemary I'm drying in the kitchen to add to olive oils in about 4 weeks time :)

Spring has sprung

We wanted to share some of our spring pictures with you.

It is slowly getting warmer.
67 today and very sunny :)
So Johnny and Austin were cleaning out the garage.

Even Maggie is taking a well deserved break from Dixie and Star.

The 2 are enjoying one of their first outings:
