Miri has a special admirer at school.
He wrote her two notes, and then gave her a really lovely gift.
We might be in for a lot of this in her future. *sigh*
Our "Patricia Rose" bush, which commemorates Patty, blooms in the most surprising circumstances. Right before Thanksgiving, she gave us three amazing blossoms.
I like to think it's because she's letting us know she's watching over us. I hope she knows how much we miss her.
It was finally time to re-stock the barn with hay. We were down to the last few bales from our 2015 harvest of our grass field.
We found a marvelous supplier of three-string bales, and he delivers!
Three stacks - about 10 tons - and we are ready for the winter.
Miri's class made Growth Mindset t-shirts. She is doing so well with this topic. I love to hear her say "I won't give up" - especially when she's practicing piano.
Here's the kiddo, ready for her winter concert.
Darling class songs!
So fun to watch.
Speaking of watching....you better watch out! And I don't mean about Santa.
Aleaha has been wanting to get some special cooking lessons with Mommy. So one night we made spaetzle. Fun and yummy!
We had a clean kitchen going into Thanksgiving.
But first, we needed to celebrate Daddy's birthday! This was a requested coconut cream pie. Looked better when all assembled with the whipped cream and toasted coconut.
Miri helped with the tangerine juice, which we used for Tangerine Curd Tart - that just might be our new family tradition for Thanksgiving, cuz it was SO GOOD.
We invited a Butter Turkey to dinner. He was all chill at the start.
But as the night wore on, he mellowed a bit.
The rain got pretty serious, and our little creek running out of the main pond was quite swollen.
The girls went for a walk around the field. That's them - the little colored things in the center of the picture. Wearing themselves out. (hooray!)
'Nuff said.
