Autumn is HERE!

Yesterday, Matilde and I were busy baking bread because it is officially bread baking season! The house is finally cool enough to use the oven for a few hours in the afternoon and the girls are eating more sandwiches now that school's back in session. Plus, we couldn't pass up a fresh loaf! This bread recipe was really simple, very inexpensive, and it looks like "real bread!" We used flour, yeast, salt, milk, sugar, and water. What more do you need?! Honestly, it was so simple my 5 year old could make it....oh wait...she did! And it's absolutely delicious! 

Jealous?

We are still getting strawberries from our doorstep planters!  There are both green berries and some flowers just starting to bloom on both of the plants. Of course, Andy and I never get to taste any because Matilde and Evan are too busy sneaking them every chance they get! We'll see how long they last considering it's already AUTUMN. 

Wrapped in Plastic

We have been overrun by the Alki flu that hits our house every year, so in between popping our vitamin C, sneezing, and wheezing, we have been slowly but surely prepping our garden for Autumn. 

First things first, wrap the beds in plastic. That was all we got to today... Like I said- slowly but surely. ;) 

First frost!

It's getting cold outside, so don't forget to zip up!

This weekend.

I've been under the weather this weekend, so I've been a bit behind on the photos. 

We have decided to repurpose the wood from the chicken tractor. We'll find a good use for it I'm sure. 

Here's Matilde helping to cleanup the neighborhood with Papa and Chacha. She suggested we find one of these things in her size! 

Here's Evan having WAY too much fun with her Papa's leaf blower!
