Cross that off my list.



For the first time ever, I have completed all my Christmas shopping early. I hate to give away the surprise, but family and friends can expect one of these under the tree this year. Merry Merry!

A bit slow on the up-take.


Note: I'm blaming this on lack of coffee. When this flyer fell out of the newspaper this morning, and I read "Fresh Blackberry Pie", my first thought was: "Gross! What type promotion is this? How did they make pie out of a Blackberry?" (Yes, I was thinking Blackberry, as in cell phone.)

So imagine my surprise when I saw in the Safeway circular that Apples were $1.29/lb. That would mean an Ipod Nano would be just pennies!

One bloom.




Makes me smile. I could stare at it all day.

It's just a regular old farm here....




The chickens are doing their job and producing lots of yummy eggs for us. The eggs are much smaller than store-bought eggs. I've heard as the chickens get older, their eggs might get bigger. The yolk color is scrumptious. It's a dark yellow-gold. And the taste....yummmm.

We had a mishap with one of the original chickens, so we've added three more to our flock. Say hello to Daisy, Lola and Maria.
