The joy of Autumn

 

Baby's first choux

The boy actually did a lot of the making of the choux pastry.  At least the stove top portion was all him!

A sorceress, two knights, and a big ass dragon teaming up to help save the world.

Autumn in the Rockies

 

On a "treasure hunt" in a park across town. It was a beautiful fall day, and we enjoyed walk through nature, wrestling with trees, and playing hide-and-seek in the tall grass.

Then on a rather long hike in another park, the boy declared himself king of the rock.  See the power pose?

A little sunshine was badly needed during this rather depressing era.  I hope the boy remembers these fun moments and less of the rather stupid current events.

So, something happened

This is the wall between the major road and our neighbor's yard.

And this is a peek into our yard.  See the tire?  It wasn't there this morning.  Also, the sunroof from the car flew over the fence and landed on the walking path on the second level, near the stairs.

Also, I made tried to make a cookie version of the library from my home town.  It didn't quite come together.  It suffered a ninja attack.

The garden

 

Can you see the little bee on the top left, covered in pollen?

Husband and boy moving the latest load of woodchips.  Well, husband moving them and the boy catching a ride on the wheelbarrow.

One of the garden beds.  There are a couple spare honey topbars hanging for the bees to clean off.

A close up of ground cherries (left) and tomatillos (right).  Both are related to tomatoes, and have husks that grow first then the fruit fills in.  The ground cherries are surprisingly sweet and yummy raw.  The tomatillos are supposedly good raw but I only make enchilada sauce out of them.
