It's nice to see physical progress, even if it's not yet the actual orbiter. See more, including a video, at nasa.gov.

Homemade

Homemade whole wheat honey oatmeal bread topped with homemade Greek-style yogurt mixed with homemade slow cooker apple butter, and to drink, homebrewed hard apple cider.


Soon, we'll be keeping goats so we can spin their wool into yarn and make sweaters!

Tantrum

Thursday, October 20, 2011 by RDT

We didn't think she'd get started throwing tantrums this early, but then learning to walk can be downright frustrating. It seems, some days, as if Hazel is either walking (with our help) or screaming, and there is no in-between.

Apple Picking!

Wednesday, October 19, 2011 by RDT

We went apple picking on Saturday! There were plenty of attractions - petting zoo, pumpkin patch, ice cream, apple cider donuts, delicious roasted corn on the cob and grilled burgers, clam chowder - the works.

First we visited the animals. Marlee was comfortable with the small birds in cages - she thought the larger chicken looked "just like Chanticleer". But she worried the sheep and goats were going to eat her.



Hazel was a bit more daring.


After that, we had lunch and then traipsed out to the apple orchard for some yummy apples.

Even Hazel enjoyed gumming up an apple or two.

Cheers!
