Saturday and Sunday Fun ~

 Lots going on this weekend, so im trying to get caught up!  On Saturday, we went over to Grandpa Franks house to enjoy a gathering of the FAB Company with family and friends.  Its probably been over 25 years since all four of the gang were together, so it was a great time!  Good food, great music and lots of laughter!
 That night the temperatures dropped down to the low 30s, creating frost in the meadow the next morning....uh oh....hope i didnt lose any basil!  Whew...only a dozen or so black leaves, but i guess its time to harvest it and make pesto....

 Jordyn was a lot of help, though, when it came time to wash and make pesto, she was already in bed.  And no wonder...she did a lot of chores that day...
 Our first wood pile of the season...that first cold day is always a wake up call!  Notice the sweatshirts and warm clothes...it looks gorgeous out, but it was fairly crisp.
 Daddy shows Jordyn the proper stacking technique...
good thing she has gloves on (but no shoes...doh!)
 And here it is...our first truckload of wood.  The first of many for the season!  Doesnt look like much now, but that stack will be 5 rows deep and twice as high come winter!
Now its time to relax...
