Just a few last minute things happening here before Frank heads to school on Wednesday. This is a picture that we took of him and Daisy for his on-line school. Cute, huh!? Daisy is actually trying to get to the apple that's in his hand. What a mooch!

We pulled some beets today and they are soo good. We planted a cylindrical variety this year and they are so big without being woody and once cooked can be cut into uniform slices. I don't think I'll ever go back to the globe kind. I'll try to remember to get a picture of one in a couple of days when we pick some again. Frank got some plastic and covered the tomatoes. It's been getting pretty cold here at night and we really want them to ripen on the vine, so we made mini-greenhouses for them. The weather is supposed to warm up now so maybe we'll get some ripe tomatoes and corn soon. So far it's been a bust.


This is our fairly picked-over herb garden. We did not plant kitties but they came up anyway! This is Katie kitty. She is mostly a house cat, but I guess she can't resist a little dirt warmed up by the afternoon sun. Katie is 10 years old and pretty sweet when she wants to be! Typical female cat. She's a good lap sitter though.

I'll do a better job of introducing the donkey and telling their story on another post soon. It's a heart breaker but with a good ending so far!
