Beautiful Weather this Summer & Fall

​Before I forget to note: this year was a perfect weather, low allergy, low bug year.  The summer was perfect for temps and rain.  The wintery-spring lasted long into April, but the ground was moist. And this autumn has been one of the longest.  We saw a few flakes in Oct, so that was the end of the garden, but on Halloween it was in the high 60’s. Nov 2 it was 69°.  We haven’t had to use the new wood stove but a few time, much to David’s disappointment because he likes tending the fire. 

Elizabeth’s Last Year As a Pre-teen

My baby girl turned 12 today. She had a Hawaiian party with a few (homeschool) friends since it was on a Tuesday. She plays the piano beautifully. She enjoys history, reading, and baking. Dislikes: shopping. 😆
