Just for Today

This morning when I was working on the computer the power unexpectedly went out. I'm not sure why it did, it was all nice and sunny out not too windy and definitely not stormy! So, after we ate breakfast I did not have to do breakfast dishes! I hung some wet laundry out on the line and took in the dry laundry. After doing lessons, Nathanael went and helped David butcher up some lambs and Enoch, Grace, and I went with Daddy to our neighbors woods to cut down a tree and gather up the wood. By the time we got back, the power was on and Grace started making dinner. Daddy and the little boys went out squirrel hunting but the did not get anything this time. I worked some more on folding laundry and did other things in between! Mama got back just in time for dinner (she went out to town to do some stuff). And, now I am just sittin here a-typin away! But, there is still a couple more things I'd like to do before completely retiring for the night, so I'd best leave you with these few pictures and wish you a "Good night" and "Sweet dreams to you"!

Counting the rings to see how old the tree was."63 years old!"...

Waiting for Enoch come the marking stick so Daddy could cut up the tree...

The sky was SO lovely and blue!

Enoch making notches...

Grace cutting up the log (not really :)

Carrying logs to the truck...

Heave it up there girl!
Standing on the stump for a pose!

Today was the first time this year I went out to get fire wood I've out the past years but for some reason I just never did this year. I guess my younger brothers are getting older so it's not like me and Grace have to go out, but it is SO fun!

Bread baking and other stuff


The last 4 loaves of bread are in the oven. I feel tired. It must be because I stayed up to midnight last night making the dough. Enoch, Nathanael and Daddy are working on getting more wood in.
Grace is trying to tackle the mountain of laundry.
A friend of mine who lives in AK called today to tell us about her new baby brother. It was nice to talk with her.
The pickle pickers across the road have their spanish music on loader than ever and it is getting very tiring to here the constant bass ba- boom, boom boom, ba ba-boom, boom, boom BOOM!!!!! I guess It keeps them pickin'. But does it have to be THAT loud?????
Here are several pictures from today...

My leavens L to R: Rye, Wheat, White

The bread on the rise. I made rye cracker bread out of the rye dough.

The finished bread. It does not look as good as Mama's but I think it will still taste good!
Enoch (on the ground) and Nathanael (on the wood:) hauling fire wood to the sugarhouse wood shed.
Grace made two pies from the...
