The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree....

This summer has had a reoccurring theme, GARDENING. I decided this summer I was going to do my gardening with my grandpa. He has taught me just about everything he knows. We canned beans, tomatoes, pickles and even went to the orchard and picked apples (which became apple butter.) I'm pretty sure that I could survive like the Amish...well besides the no electricity or indoor plumbing thing. Everyone has their limits. Gardening is hard work, and like my grandpa tell me all the time,"You're allergic to work!" Hard, but fun!

Goat Adventures.

So, today was an adventure, to say the least. My husband's uncle has a "farm" of exotic and not so exotic animals. He has an old gutted yellow school bus that we load full of his animal managerie, and go to festivals. It's really quite fun. The kids just love it. We took 6 goats, a llama, 3 birds, a bunnie, a hedgehog, hissing cockroaches, a snake, a trantula, a scorpian, a rooster, and all types of animal artifacts. The fun part is loading up the animals....leashing the goats and llama and walking them right up the front steps, it's hilarious. My mom thinks that I should add "Llama loader" to my resume. I just might!

And so it begins

after being on the go all summer,

I have decided it's time to get to work and stop talking about starting a blog, and actually do it!

While wondering the book store, browsing and touching everything, My mom snatched up Tara Frey's New Book : Blogging for Bliss A must have for the blog-ginner (ok i made that word up, but it's a combination of blog+beginner=blogginer.) So this is my first of many post that i will be updating regularly to keep myself busy and entertained. I hope you enjoy my new world as much as I do.
