Four Part Harmony

We’ve been pretty busy on all fronts around here.
It seems like the past week or so we’ve just been trying to stay ahead of one thing after another…
Rather than dwell on any of that though, I thought I’d just put up a few photos while Anna’s upstairs napping.

Fall is here! Anna and I stopped and kicked the leaves on a recent bike ride to the park.

Another photo, because you just can’t beat a pile of leaves in the fall, especially out here where they usually just turn to mush.

Our pal Michael playing at the Farmer’s Market on a cool afternoon.

We’re still getting some tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, and onions out of the garden. We haven’t harvested the winter squash yet, we picked one early and it tasted a bit bland so we’re waiting for a frost to hopefully sweeten them up.

Here’s Anna and Kadin running around the yard with the chickens.

This past Sunday we went out to the Portland Nursery Apple Festival with Steve an Keri and their girls. There was apple tasting and cider, music, games and painting etc. so Anna had quite a bit of fun. Here’s a shot of Anna and Nicki painting a picture. Anna decided that it needed quite a bit of glitter before the picture was finished.

Another shot of the artiste at work.

And, a photo of Anna all bundled up and ready to head out on the next adventure…Actually this was from this afternoon. We went up to the children’s museum. Nicki and Anna have been up there a few times now, but I had never been. It was a ton of fun for Anna, we were up there all morning and I think she tired herself out pretty good.

Oh, I think it stopped raining for a minute, I better go get the eggs and take care of the chickens. See you soon.
