Green chile, waiting to be bottled....
The 2-year-old boy, having fallen off the couch, onto the protective pillows, then having rolled onto the rug. None of this woke him up.

ReplyDeleteBaby Hippo looks so grown up!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even believe that you seriously had a WHOLE WATERMELON PLANT that grew from a spittled seed!!!!!!! Seriously?! That is wild!!! I can't grow anything from a seed, even when I plant it deliberately, and follow all the package directions, and water and fertilize faithfully!!!! What the heck!!! lol And you just spit and plants grow!!!
I love the green chillis! Now, what will you do with all of those?!
Hahaha, Emily! Your comments often crack me up! I think it grew there because that patch gets watered ever day because of the pines.....
ReplyDeleteAnd we will use the chile for enchiladas, and quesadillas, and chile con queso and a ton of other stuff! It's going to be awesome! :)
What a breath of fresh air. :D Your children are beautiful. The watermelon is marvelous. (Can I come help eat it? ;) I am inspired by the chilis. I have an avalanche of jalepenos this year and don't know what to do with the extras. We eat the, I use them to make salsa, and can salsa, but now I wish I had grown chilis too! Next Year.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Very helpful. Keep up the good work. I'm following now.
ReplyDeleteThat was surprisingly touching! You are such a word and picture artist. I LOVE the picture of the 18 year old girl = I can totally see her smile and hear her voice.
ReplyDeleteI was a vegetarian for ten years, then I regressed. Since moving to CA I was a vegetarian for two years, and since I have started eating fish and I have removed all grain from my diet. Now, this is not what I like to eat, but I am trying this to see how I feel.
ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing how you are raising your children. I look forward to trying some of your veg recipes on my cheat days. I am on day four of my no grain challenge.
