On Tuesday, the 14th, we celebrated Anthea's birthday! 21 years ago we welcomed our first child, a little girl! How time has flown by and now we have a 21 year old! We went to Bob's Burgers and Brew for dinner and Janita accompanied us! We were especially thankfully that she could be here with us and that we could celebrate it together as a family!
On Thursday Cassie came over for the day and the two girls had a ball! Here they are playing tap'n'nail!
I took in a second harvest of parsley and dried it out. By the time it's dried out, there's not much volume but I just keep add it to the previous amount.
Three of the largest pumpkins were picked. One was fully ripe and the other two will go in the canning room where it is dark and cool to allow them to fully ripen. We still have a few in the veggie patch which will come off in due time (hoping they'll still grow even though we're not seeing much sun lately)!
The pumpkins/squash/gourds or whatever you like to call them come in so many shapes and sizes! It's a big thing to decorate fall using pumpkins.
And are they all edible? Apart from the three at the back, I don't actually know!
Pumpkin soup is the family's favourite soup so there was lots of excitement when I made the pumpkin soup for tonight's dinner! The appreciation around the table made it all worthwhile!
Taleesha has been wanting to write and asking how to spell this word and that word; today she almost fully wrote her own name! She just asked me once or twice what the next letter was and off she went!
That's the recap for the last week and a half. We've been having some rainy days here and more forecasted, but hey, that's the North West!
For the rest, we are all well. This weekend, we together with our local neighbors plan to have our annual (well this will be the second one!) gourmet dinner so that should be lots of fun!
Thanks for looking!
