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! 

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. ;) 

Sowing the seeds...

Meet our fall harvest. 

Frozen

It's been really cold here, and it's only getting colder! Yesterday afternoon Matilde noticed the pond had frozen over. I guess I haven't noticed just how cold it has been lately. I feel like it snuck up on us. One day it was fairly mild and the next it was below freezing! I just hope we get snow this year. 

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!
