I Get Goosebumps, Seriously.

Enough cannot be said about the timeless perfection of this CD.

If you grew up listening to Bing Crosby Christmas music...oh, this one will utterly transport you.

Yesterday.

My backyard went from this...

...to this.

Sadly, it's not the beginnings of a glorious swimming pool- 

A major garden area is being constructed,

complete with multi-tiers and a storage shed. 

It may not be water, but it promises to give my kids plenty to do next summer!

 

And aren't these guys just the cutest things?

I Have A Suggestion.

Remember how Halloween came and went at warp speed?  

Get out your Christmas music now.

Time is flying I tell you. 

Usually it feels so wrong before Thanksgiving.

Not this year. 

Really.

I'm right about this....

 

Look, someone graffiti'd (not a real word) my Nativity box.

Let's Pretend I Posted This Yesterday.

Happy Birthday Angie and Alicia!

WE LOVE YOU!

Scenes from a Sunday.

We woke up to this- somehow we are always still 
surprised when the snow comes...

And more...

My roses bloomed one more time because of our 
warm fall, but alas, winter always wins.

Angie's birthday party was delightful.
( Actually,"delightful" 
is not really the right word to describe a 
Labit/Paynter get together, 
it's more like "chaotic"...)

A closeup. Jacob designed the Oreo
inspired creation.

I know Jordo was doing something hilariously 
funny here...can't remember what.

Hope your Sabbath was peaceful and good.

Just Think About It.

I just want to pass on a great deal at markdown.com

For 79.99 you get:

*37,000 seeds, 1.4 Lbs of Non-Hybrid seeds, Heirloom Vegetables, sealed in an airtight military grade Seed Vault. Non-hybrid seeds mean that every season your garden produces seeds for next years crops. Most seeds you buy in the stores have been engineered not to reproduce.

*23 varieties of the highest yielding crops including tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, watermelon, onions and corn.

*2 books including a seed saving guide and a seed growing guide

The deal is available for a couple more days but is already 75% sold out.

I know I sound like a sales person but I have nothing to do with this company. It just feels really important to be able to grow your own food if you need to, and this is a great deal.

You might thank me later.
(To my family, I have now asked you twice...)

Bye, Bye, Bella.

Our adopted dog has moved.

Bella now lives in St. George.

We spent Halloween evening with her, and then she was gone.

So sad. We were quite attached.

I guess we are in the market for a new adoptee. 

If interested, apply. We aren't that picky...
