The Bat is Out!

Did I ever tell you... they used to call me the bat around here? we do have this crazy upside down life, but that's not why... I love to garden at night, I take my light and go : ) tonight though it was more of a relaxing thing, I picked some pears and veggies and just relaxed and enjoyed the fall coolness I love so much. Took these pictures too.
Look at all these Japanese pears ( I've always called them oriental pears but my neighbor just told me tonight they are Japanese Pears ) They look like apples and taste like pears, they are very crunchy and juicy.

I love my yard at night time...

It was so nice and cool tonight, I love it!

I ended up picking the pears and also some veggies and herbs... rosemary and basil to dry. They smell so good.

Happy Birthday Ed!

Ed turned 50 on the 13th...
We had a surprise birthday dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory a couple of days before with his Dad and brothers and sisters. It was so fun to get together and to celebrate Ed's birthday. On his actual birthday we also had a little surprise celebration at the house with some family and friends.

CAPITOL REEF

This Labor Day weekend, we spent it in Marysvale and it's surroundings. It was the Keigley family with cousin Wade and us. We camped on our property in Marysvale, the one that has the cabin that can't wait to be done : ) From there, we went to Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef and had very good weekend.

There was a lot of deer eating the apples from the many trees in the area.

some rain and some sunshine...

...make for a perfect day!
Then we landed on the moon.
Skyler, Jackie, Morgan, Lexie and Jack.

We had fun climbing and taking pictures on these very interesting rock walls!!
