New toy? tool? GADGET!

Yep. I got a new gadget.

I had a few points left on my Apple account at the travel agency.

So...I used them.

On something useful.

Will I get to try it out before MN hiking?

Gnocchi

YUM!

Its always pleasing when a new recipie turns out well.

And yes, its green.

Because it has Popeye food in it.

Number Nine

 Its a Toothless cake!

(the boys are a little obsessed with How to Train Your Dragon.)

Nephew #2 was pretty happy with his cool cake!

Pears!

Our neighbor told us to help ourselves to her pear tree.

I just picked these guys up off the ground...

but the tree is loaded down.

So much that the branches are brushing the ground.

My sis would like to use some of them,

so I decided to try an experiment today...

wrapping them up in paper

and putting them in a crate for her.

Knit a Long

 

We did a knit-a-long in September.

It was fun stuff!

I think my favorite part was interacting with the

crazy group on Facebook.

Knitters are just a little bit craaazy!

Larvae?

I'll look it up momentarily,

but we saw what looked like a mud dauber

nest on our eaves.

When we scraped it off, this is what was in it.

Are they larvae?

Every single one was different!

Update: It looks like it WAS a dauber nest,

and they like to eat spiders...they stock their nests

with them.

Who knew??

Thanks Wikipedia!

Bad growing season?

I've been hearing this and that

here and there

off and on

about it being a bad year for gardens

in our area of Muscatine.

Well, the tomatoes must like this guy...

They're taller than him

AND all over the garden.
