We had to be up before 6:00 AM, and ride our bike 4 miles on a dark chilly 50°f morning, but I would say it was all worth it. Blake and I got to enjoy a beautiful sunrise, and the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic launch this morning. It is our favorite event of the year!
I had not cycled since July 4th, and boy was my body feeling it! Blake has been avoiding bike riding since his clavicle fracture accident, so he decided to longboard instead. We had a wonderful time, but it was nap time for both of us when we got home. :)
Some pictures from today...
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.

And a totally epic photo taken by Blake on his cell phone. He will be taking photography next semester, and that makes this photo-crazy mama very proud. He has a great eye for photography...just like his big brothers.
In other news for today, we found egg #2! From the large, torpedo shaped double-yoker yesterday, to this tiny, whimsical, perfect little egg today. My hens have a delightful sense of humor. I wonder what treasure we will discover tomorrow?
Have a great weekend!
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

September 2, 2015 - We Had An Eggsciting Day!
Today was a good day in my little urban backyard farm. Blake checked the chickens after school and discovered our first egg. Yay! Annabelle had been hanging out in the nesting box, so I am pretty sure it was hers. We are very proud of our little Annabelle. :)
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.

I am so glad it was Blake who found the first egg too. At first he thought I had added another fake egg to the nesting box so that the girls would know where I wanted them to lay. But no, it was a real egg.
***Update*** I just cracked the egg open this evening, and it was a delicious double-yoker. Well done Annabelle!
The next day we found a tiny, whimsical little egg. But it was perfectly delicious!
It was a great day for tomatoes too. We had quite the lovely harvest.
Some tomatoes from earlier in the week too...
The pepper plants that I rescued from the main garden are flowering too.
And my little decapitated pepper is really thriving.
We are feeling very blessed today. :)
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

August 28, 2015 - Family Nights are Fun Nights
Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family night. Granddaughter Penny had a visit with the doctor here in Boise, so they were able to stop by to visit me on the way home.
It was wonderful to see and hug them. Amber, always the thoughtful one, brought all her baking supplies so she could bake a belated birthday cake for Blake. Brandon had to go to work in the evening, so unfortunately he could not stay for cake. It was great to have a short visit with my awesome son and get in a great big hug. "I love you, Brandon!"
We enjoyed some time in the garden, eating fresh, warm summer tomatoes right off the vine, and visiting with the chickens. I enjoyed visiting with Amber and the children. It has been entirely too long since the last visit. I love them so much. <3
The cake Amber prepared was delicious!

Brandon is such an amazing father, and Amber is the most loving and nurturing mommy. I am very proud of both of them!
Penny and Cooper were very excited to see uncle Blake when he got home from school.

She approved of the recipe.
Yes, this is a food fight about to happen...lol
Amber's delicious homemade cake. The icing was heavenly!!
"Enough of this singing grandma, time to cut the cake!"
So precious.

In other news...
Back-to-school has been a smashing success for Blake! He is going to have a great year.
Blake's First Day pictures. Of course I took pictures. I will take "First Day" pictures every year until he goes off to college, and probably even then. <3
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.

Miss Penny was not pleased with our birthday serenade. LOL :)
Coversation with Blake this evening...
Blake: "Mom, let's see how long we can toss the frisbee till it drops."
Me: "Sounds good son. We should be able to make it to 100. Go!"
Blake: "1, 2, 3...drop. Damn, wind interference."
Blake: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...drop. Damn bug got in the way!"
Blake: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...drop. Chickens! Move!"
Me: "5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!"
Blake: "Mom...dude, that is cheating."
Me: "Honey, no, that is mom counting. I win!"
LOL, I love this kid. :)
Have a great weekend!
