Coming back from Captain's Career Course was disheartening, because I had been absent from the garden for more than two weeks. I wasn't able to get immediately back to it either, because of work, and more National Guarding. However, in the last week, with help from the two older girls, we have been making some… Continue reading Weeding and Garlic Harvest

Six-Year-Old Seppi
Seppi is six years old now! How did that happen? Time flies when you are having fun. Since Daddy missed his birthday because of the National Guard (Again!) So we had some man time the following weekend. Daddy worked a few extra National Guard days so Seppi tagged along when we went out to the… Continue reading Six-Year-Old Seppi
Weeding and composting.
When you head to Texas for two weeks... The weeds decide they own the place. Seriously, some of them were over my head. Of course, it's an ill wind that blows no good. The ruminants were all pleased as punch about the wheelbarrow loads of weeds they were getting out of the deal. It's hot… Continue reading Weeding and composting.
Thanksgiving: A Very Catholic Post
This is going to be a very Catholic post, so if you are offended by Catholic stuff... read on.

Overdue Update
It has been a while since we have posted anything here. There is a good reason for this. Our Advent has been somewhat disrupted because Daddy had to go on National Guard orders to help with the flood response in Western Washington. This has been an unusual advent. We began a novena to Our Lady… Continue reading Overdue Update
Tomato Sauce
September 5th. The tomatoes are pretty much done for the year, it seems. We have very few new blossoms, and while we have a few ripe ones coming in, it is not enough to be worth saving, and we need to clear freezer space so we can start collecting apples for cidering in a month… Continue reading Tomato Sauce
Back in the Garden
Daddy got off orders for National Guard last Saturday. Winnie was pretty much glued to him the whole day. The garden has been growing like crazy for the last two weeks. The beans that were so slow to start have been coming in buckets. Mommy picked ten quarts worth last week. Daddy and Winnie picked… Continue reading Back in the Garden
