We bought pumpkins at the farmer’s market this weekend along with some really yummy looking parsnips. I’m going to cook up some butternut squash/carrot/parsnip soup for a play date on Wednesday. I currently can’t get enough of fall’s bounty… apples, pumpkins, squash, oh my!!!
Besides out trip to the farmer’s market, we cleaned our front porch and while I was a little hesitant to remove the spider webs so close to Halloween, it was nice to see a tidy entry to our home! Leaves are starting to fall as well as all those pesky acorns, so there was plenty for us to clean. It was also a nice weekend for washing some windows. I wish I had a little more energy because I can’t seem to get everything accomplished these days.
We also put most of our garden to bed today.
N informed me that Roxanne needs a new water pump and while we are at it, might as well put in a new radiator as well. Why do we have THREE of these cars again? He’s got to get the silver car dismantled soon if he wants to get Walt Whiteman back into the garage before winter. I guess he’d have more time to work on these things if I didn’t have so many other activities/chores for him. But he’s so darn good at everything…
Now that there are no more giggles coming from the child’s bedroom (Daddy’s bedtime routine and mine are VERY different), I can sneak back upstairs and continue sewing my crowns for our local craft swap.
Our love to you all.
From Kansas to Michigan and back to Kansas again. This is our exploration into living, loving, and parenting simply.
