What $6 can buy us.

Here is our loot from our Farm to Table order from Matilde's preschool. It's a fantastic partnership bringing fresh organic fruits and vegetables from local farms to families at an affordable price. We plan to purchase a bag of produce every other week for only $6 a bag. Can't beat that! 

Anyone know what that purple sweet potato looking veggie is?  

What a pear!

Matilde was given this pear by one of the secretaries at her school today. It is so gigantic! I can't wait to slice into it! It's as big as her head! 

Yesterday & Today

Mountain mama

Tina's on the prowl tonight!  My poor, poor Donnas. 

Time to prune.

These grapes took off, but now it's time to prune....I think.  Any suggestions what to do next?! I know we need to prep for the coming year, but what's first? 

RIP RATS.

These rats will soon be bastards.

This pellet gun fires at 13k ft/second, comes with a 4x32 scope, and silencer. 

No longer will these rats feast on fresh Donna eggs or chicken feed. They will soon be a warning to all other rodents in the area. WE WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY.  THIS IS OUR LAND! SETTLE YOUR RAT DEBTS, HUG YOUR RAT BABIES, AND KISS YOUR RAT MOTHERS BECAUSE TONIGHT WILL BE YOUR LAST. 

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA 

(It's been a fun weekend!)

Wed., Thurs., Fri.

I'm MOLTING!! MOLTING!!!

We're not the only people eating rabbit in the city!  It was nice to see rabbit meat for sale at the Queen Anne farmers market yesterday evening. I think Andy may be filling our freezer this weekend with more, but I haven't confirmed that yet. :)

I thought these piles of radishes and turnips were beautiful!  They looked very yummy!  I remember trying a turnip for the very first time in elementary school. I don't quite remember for sure, but I think Mrs. Trautman brought them in for us to taste because of a book we were reading. It could have been Ms. Carlson. I just remember that it was my reading teacher and she was dumbfounded that a few of us had never tasted one before!  I recall liking it, but NEVER eating one again! Hahaha 

I keep falling asleep early....

This is a photo of Cousin Ty's turkey!  He went turkey hunting in his home state (AZ) last weekend and bagged a bird for the big day!  He dressed it and now it patiently awaits a warm November afternoon with the Kraenzlers.  Congrats my friend and enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing where your food has come from! (Not that Safeway is a bad place for food to come from....)
