Puke Cuke

I found this, um, growing in the fridge the other day. I can only imagine events like this will increase in the next few months.

Megan and Jason's Wedding

Megan and Jason's wedding was a few weekends ago, and Aaron and I had a blast. It was held at Jason's parent's house in Oregon City.

I wish I had a picture of the sparklers! That was so fun dancing around like fireflies in the yard. Congratulations you two, and I bet you love your photo booth book, it turned out awesome!

Farewell to Summer

Tomorrow is my first day at school. I'm feeling nervous. And wishing I had 3 more months of gardening, hiking, road tripping, and no homework. I just need to survive the next 9 months and then hopefully I'll be home free.

Some of my carrots from this year as a farewell to summer:

To do:

So Megan's wedding was awesome, post on that later. I don't really have any good pictures from it. That's what happens when you trust the photo taking to someone else. Ahem, ahem.
School starts soon. Too soon. I keep meaning to do some homework to get ahead, but I have too much other stuff going on. For example tonight I:

Picked plums from a neighbor's tree
Prepared and put as many as would fit into a dehydrator
Planted two rows of carrots
Made dinner
Did the dishes
Make two batches of carrot cake (plus frosting)
Did the dishes again
Burned 22 DVDs for my classmates

Ugh. I'm ready for bed!

We have countless figs, apples and grapes that need to have something done with them as well. In the meantime I'm headed to Eugene for a CE class and 1st year orientation tomorrow. I can't wait for Fall Festival this weekend!

Megan's Bachlorette Party

Megan's bachlorette party was last night in Portland. I met up with them at Jimmy Mak's and we proceeded on to Darcelle's. None of us had been here before, so we were in for a treat.


Megan anxiously awaiting the show.

The group with Darcelle (who is 78!!!)


We then made our way to Voodoo Donuts for some late night snacks. They were all delicious especially the maple bar with bacon and the chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie one. Oh yeah the Froot Loops one was good too...I think they all might have been good. Kirsten and Megan with donuts.


I headed home at this point...so I'm not sure what trouble these girls found but hopefully there will be some good stories today!

Breakfast Burritos

Aaron made breakfast burritos this morning...


He made up some beans and rice, and eggs from our friend's chickens.


Salsa he made yesterday from our garden.


Super good!


And now we are off on a walk since my knee is finally feeling better. Which is a good thing considering that when I told Aaron how good these burritos were he said, "Yeah, it's because I put in a s*#@ton of butter."
Touché.

Happiness

How fantastic are these zinnias from my mom's garden? They are pure happiness in their rainbow candy colors.
