LEAH's almost WALKing...

FOOD we can grow it and we can cook it!




We were very proud of our crop of carrots this year! They are orange (instead of yellowish), nice and thick (they were a bit scronnie last year) and to top it off they were all nice size length! See for your self!

We also experimented with a real ITALIAN dinner, inspired by Rachel... It was good, but not as good as Rachel's dinner!

The MOUSE hunt begins!

So one night at my BEcome group one of my friends spots a mouse run into our pantry. Well, it just so happened that Carl was working or something, so Clint Came to the rescue! We proceed to move everything we can out of the pantry and even bring the dogs inside for the persuit of this disgusting little creature, and still no luck. The hunt persisted through the night... then we see it! It runs under the dishwasher! Oh great, now what are we going to do. So we go down to Carl's parents and get this trap that electrocutes them as they enter it. We waited for a couple days with the trap sitting, and then WE Catch it! Well what we thought as A mouse, ended up being a family of mice! I KNOW disgusting! We cleaned out the pantry, under the sink, dishwasher, fridge, and everywhere we could think of. Our grand total, are you ready for this... IT's gross! SEVEN mice! We think we've caught them all and have stopped where they are getting in. We had one little hole in the block where the plumber needed to get through and low and behold they found it... THANK goodness this is over... HOWEVER, we still have our traps set JUST IN CASE! poor little mouseies... (STAY OUT!)
