I make a mean pumpkin scone.

I have a headache, and needed a photo fast so I can go soak in the tub for a bit before I crash into bed. Glitter pencils are what you get tonight. Hopefully I start feeling a little more inspired with my photos before this project is done.

Starbucks and a movie. The latte was so-so, the movie was okay (Social Network...I don't know why everyone says it's really good, i just thought it was okay), but the company was great! I love my man.

My big boy, who loves fresh carrots from the garden, grass attached if you please!

I spent some time this afternoon digging up the last of the carrots and most of the green onions, hoeing away at the rock hard soil, and working some compost into it before winter so I have one less thing to do in the spring.

Shine on, shine on
And let the others see
You've got your victory

This afternoon featured a spectacle of myself in utter defeat and despair in light of the impossible tasks ahead of me. "How can one person do it all?" I entreated my husband, to which he replied, "You can't."
He's right. When I trust myself to get it all accomplished it's impossible. But there is a light within, where the Holy Spirit resides, and when I look to the finished work of Christ and trust him instead of myself, he will accomplish great things. In him, I've already got my victory.

So...public health called me yesterday and informed me I am in fact sick. I did, in fact, already know it. What I didn't know was what was making me sick. Cryptosporidium. There's a mouthful. I am slowly improving, but I have been eating bland, easily digestible food for a week and a half and I am getting tired of it! There's only so much white bread, rice, crackers, and jell-o a person can tolerate before they start to go crazy. (I'd have more homemade broth if I had it, but it's a precious commodity around here) To the Multi-Grain Cheerios' credit, they are actually quite enjoyable on their own.

One of my cute little mailmen opening the box, with the help of Daddy to lift him up. We stopped to get the mail on a quick after-supper walk around the block.

A favourite pastime around here lately is watching the old Batman TV series. Bailey's favourite part is the theme song, to which she chimes in "Na-NAN!!" every time they sing 'Batman'. Sometimes I don't know how to handle her cuteness!

The boys find the humour hilarious, and the action larger than life. I wonder what they'll think of it 10 years from now, after they've been exposed to a modern action flick! For now though it's good clean fun, and they love to run around pretending to be Batman and Robin.

The ale didn't do the trick last week, so now I move on to ail (French for garlic). This is one nasty bug that just won't take a hike.

I'm off to sip my big mug of homemade turkey broth and watch The Amazing Race.

Harvest bounty - or lack thereof! I had two massive pumpkin plants take over my backyard flower bed this year, and this is the harvest I have to speak of. One lone pumpkin. I'm glad I got one though! I like gardening, but I'm still new at it and don't know a whole lot. Like my friend Janelle says, "Anything growing in my yard wants to live, because I don't really have a clue what I'm doing." I think you know more than you let on though, Janelle!

I do appreciate a good close crop to make me appreciate the details I might otherwise overlook.
