Guess it's about my turn to add a few words to this message board. I keep thinking I don't have anything interesting to write, but will give it a go anyway.
We are enjoying the beautiful fall weather-- I can't decide which activity I should tackle when I have a few days or hours off-- garden, ride horse, sit in the sun and read, or go visit some of you. Of course fall things like house cleaning exist, but I haven't officially acknowleged them yet!! (Not until the panic of the week before pumpkin carving when someone will surely have to sleep in my spider infested bedrooms upstairs).
Dad and David are combining beans and drilling wheat this week. (as well as repairing said machinery for doing these things.) Last week they weaned and worked calves, so the bellering (sp?) is over. I am waiting for their attention to turn to the annual and much loved fall chicken house cleaning-- that doesn't seem to be happening too fast. Should we make it a family activity for pumpkin carving weekend? Something to work up your appetite for Melissa's buffet!
The garden is winding down. Am still canning the occassional tomato, and have carrots and some green peppers out there yet. Dug the last of the potatoes with Jacob's somewhat reluctant help. Am still putzing around with moving perannial flowers, now that the chickens are shut in they have a half chance at rooting in. Some things actually look great with the cooler weather- one last surge before Mr Frost puts an end to it all.
We have to go to Spearfish the week of the 8th - 12th of Oct. I have the annual Diabetes Educators conference there on the 9th and 10th and we figured on staying for the weekend. We'll maybe take horses to ride Sat and part of Sun. No doubt will have to work Mon. At least will get our mileage paid for and my hours at the workshop. Should be beautiful to ride out there then.
Bobbie and Kevin-- what is Kade's soccer schedule-- I'd still like to see him play before he graduates high school---
Tammy, where did the great profile come from?? Has that been up long?-- just decided to click on the blog members and here was all that stuff. Recipes sound great!!
Jill, am waiting to see this new nest you two have moved to-- I know you have nothing but time to update us all :).
Love to you all---- Mom

I love your postings mom Kriz! I wish we were back hom for harvest. Taylor is busy every weekend now until the end of October with volleyball games - this could be her sport. I just started my own blog...haven't posted or told the Kriz Fam yet...as not many recipes out there, I have had a couple of projects for Jen and Dustin's wedding that have taken place ahead of that. But it's been kind of fun. Miss you all so much, more then you know actually.
Love,
Tammy
Hey Mom. Kade only has two games left this fall - one is this afternoon, but since he has the stomach flu that is out of the question. The other is next weekend, and sounds like you'll be traveling. Don't worry.....I am fairly certain there will be plenty of games before he graduates.
