Halloween... Part 1. (Better late than never?)

We had a party, and I will post about that later, but first here are some decor details.



When I was snapping photos of the outside of the house, I noticed one little guy fell from his perch. Oops.



He was originally on the door...















Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, and once again it didn't even come close to looking like I had envisioned (nor did I even get it all done), but like I tend to say.... "There's always next year!"

Gardening with Pablo

Yesterday, Farmer Bleat (AKA Pablo, Pablito, Bleat-Bleat) and I went out to the garden. It's past it's prime (and was pretty neglected this year, I am not going to lie), but I thought our withered peppers with their crinkled leaves still held a certain amount of beauty.



Don't you agree?

Farmer Bleat decided to test them out:



See all that feathery-ferny stuff? That's asparagus. For the first two years you let it grow up like that (only cutting it back around Feb-March) and don't eat it. It makes the root system stronger. Next year we actually get to cut it and eat it!

Pablo was overjoyed that I found one last (unripe) grape tomato hanging out. I only got to pick a few this year because he ate them all. I'm sure I'll grow them again next year just for his enjoyment! I get a kick out of seeing him picking them off the vine himself.

"Please, Ma?"



"THANK YOU!"
