Fall Happenings 2011

We had Blaine and Marissa's family and Aubrey with us for our Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner there was time for Mylee and Grammy to play Husker Du.

After our Thanksgiving feast, Aubrey made this delicious apple pie (with a little help from her mom) for our dessert.

Dave took a walk around on Metro's property behind our home and took a picture of the back of our place.

Our fall harvest included canning and freezing tomatoes and enjoying a wide variety of squash that we were able to store for an extended period of time.

Our hazelnut, walnut, fig, pear, and plum trees produced an abundance of food for us and plenty to share with family and friends.

Thanks to our Concord grape vines, we were able to freeze many quarts of juice and also make some tasty grape syrup for pancakes and waffles.

Dave and I enjoyed a visit to Mount St. Helen's which erupted over 30 years ago.

When we finally made it to the visitor's center, the top of the volcano was covered in clouds.
