Peppers, tomatoes, & chicken pot pie!

October 8, 2019 / / 0 Comments

With accumulating snow in the forecast for this week, we gathered all of the tomatoes and peppers from the garden tonight.

Our unripened tomatoes; next spring we’re planning on starting the tomatoes a month earlier. If anybody reading this has friends or they themselves believe that God is dead or doesn’t exist they should come and see what a neglected little garden can produce! Production like that can only come from a good Creator.
He and I are going to miss the garden….he’s my little garden Buddy.

Purple bell peppers.
Red peppers.
Grandma Anh loves peppers, so we shared our pepper crop with her.
Andrew never ceases to amaze me…he took a rooster that Grandpa Russell & Simon butchered and made a tasty chicken pot pie! His pie crust must be as yummy as any award winning crust!
Fun storytime project (caterpillars, butterflies, & birds) and I love seeing Ignatius’ personality blossom. What a process… pregnancy, newborn, infant, toddler, & now shining personality…life is beautiful! Ambrose is now one of the serious big kids…he works hard to do well on the projects.

Pleasant Sunday & Harvest Prayers

October 7, 2019 / / 0 Comments

What a pleasant quiet Sunday…  Andrew & the Boys even got time to tinker in the garage after Mass.  Simon is quite proud that he and daddy built him a workbench.

This husband is always a bit happier when his garage is nicely organized. I’m sure everyone’s husband is that way.
Playing ball.
This sudan grass still needs to be cut, as well as 60 acres of prairie grass and the marsh. We’re getting to the point where we could use some prayers in order to get all of our hay cut, baled, and hauled. The weather this fall has made it challenging to get this done in a timely fashion.

Fargo Friends

We are very blessed to have friends that will make the long trip with little kids to see us!

An Autumn Wreath!

Good food with a Good Friend!

October 4, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Few things cheer my soul faster than good food shared with a wonderful friend & my family!  My mother-in-law made her children beautiful Christmas stockings and I had every intention to do the same, but never got around to it.  My dear friend, Marie, made all of my children + me and now my husband, Christmas stockings to be hung in our house. We are blessed by her friendship.

Helping prepare Pho! I love how God has blessed me with wonderful friends! This kind lady just pitches right in whenever she visits!!!
The Feast!
Too worn out to finish his lunch! The Fall sticker on his cheek makes me chuckle.
He enjoyed this sticker activity when he got home from school.
Such a funny little plant from Marie, it’s called “Thinkers.”

Snow❄️

I’m not sure we’ll get a recordable amount but that white stuff is falling from the sky… jingle bells, jingle bells🎶?❄️🌨️❄️

There’s something like a Fairytale about the first snowfall of the season… Even if it comes at the beginning of October.
It’s beginning to look a lot like … October 2nd?!#?!
In Glen Ullin… for Faith Formation.
South of us apparently received more snow.
Andrew made an excellent Greek based supper with eggplant, it’s called Moussaka, yum!
So tasty!!!
With this sort of weather neighbors come to visit, it’s nice to catch up.

Storytime & Saucing Tomatoes

September 30, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Another Rainy Day… The boys donated a lion to the library, a stuffed large one. The librarian used it today for the story.

Heading off to town.
Washing, coring, & quartering the tomatoes.
Boiling.
Setting up the straining set.
Straining.
Grandpa stopped to see if the boys wanted a hayride. We had to decline since I was in the midst of saucing tomatoes.
Boiling again.
Tomatoes still boiling and Andrew started the pressure cooker.
Ladling the tomatoes in to sterilized quart jars.
When and how will these sauced tomatoes be used? Soup, spaghetti, chilli, salsa, casseroles? Only time will tell!

Turnip picking & Fence Building

I just love our home! I thank God everyday that Andrew had the wherewithal to get it built. It’s so cozy and welcoming on these blustery days.
