Catching up....

For those of you that have been checking the blog to find that nothing has changed, I'm sorry. As usual with Will being home from school we have lots of projects and "stuff" to keep us busy. But in a nutshell the last month has been full with one thing after another. To start we had a front yard full of holes and mounds as the gophers moved on to my front yard. After several attempts with several different things we borrowed Keiths trap and finally caught one.



Stupid gopher.... Now if we could only catch the one in the garden!

We also have added a new a member to the Green family, as I type he is curled up in my lap!



Prince Charming Green finally was able to break through Rellas tough shell and is now a welcome addition as far as she is concerned. The kids loved him too much from the start every time I turned around I was yelling at them to put him down, and not to make Rella feel left out Jake was loving on her quite a bit.



I came in one day to find him cuddled up in his chair with her. She has been doing well. Her hair is almost grown back in and she looks normal at least til she tries to walk.

The garden is growing and so are the weeds. I cant seem to keep up but since it is still producing I cant complain. The last two weeks I have been busy with huckleberries and canning.



I now have about 80 cups in the freezer and jam and syrup. I also got some apricots and made apricot pineapple syrup. yummy!

We have lots of new changes happening in our house as we reorganize and try to find more space here and there. So I will try to be better about posting more this month as we prepare to send Will back for his last year of school! Yea!
