In my kitchen...

I have over a half bushel of green chili that needs to be roasted and tucked away into the freezer. Have you ever smelled roasted green chili??! It's amazing! It smells exactly how fall should smell :) and it smells

incredibly delicious too.

I also have over a bushel plus of tomatoes that need to be bottled tomorrow. I love tomatoes and homemade tomato soup. It is seriously a MILLION times better than tomato soup from a can :)

I feel like I'm getting a little bit of my mojo back and need to make good use out of it while it's sticking around. Thursday will be spent bottling and tidying the house, along with some laundry.

Today I'm grateful for the cold front that has rolled in. The rain is beautiful. It also allows me to rest and focus on inside tasks. And the outside to do's will wait for another day :)

Happy as a clam

It was a good morning at work. Happy. Moderately busy. Planting. Beautiful plants. Sunshine. Blue skies. Planting up pots in the north garden. Giggles. A truck load of dirt.

Then the sky decided to darken... the wind started to blow.... and it started to rain!!

Can I just tell you how sick I am of the rain?!! Well I am. I know that its good... but all I care about lately is getting out and working and planting in my yard.

SO I TOLD the sky....

"Screw you weather!! I'm going to plant in the rain!!"

And that's exactly what I did!

Here's a little step by step of my NEW flower bed :)

I love it!

BUT this is what I did tonight. We finished building up the dirt. {Thank you Grandpa}

And I finally got to plant. I was happy and content. I spent an hour out in the rain.

Definitely my little piece of heaven.

I love seeing progress. I can't wait to show off to everyone at the BBQ tomorrow.

Muddy knees = Happiness

I'm feeling a little more like Me.

For seriously?!!

It's STILL raining!!
Golly! It's overstayed it's welcome!
I need sunshine!!
