Some of our family back in New England are celebrating Christmas in July. Well, here in California at my mom's house today, we celebrated Halloween in July. No, we didn't dress up and go around to neighbors' homes begging for candy--that would not go over too well, I guess. We did, nonetheless, carve a few pumpkins. Mom's garden is growing quite well, and her timing for the pumpkin patch is admittedly a little off. Hey, they only moved down here from Idaho last year, so we should give her some slack. Her hearty and delicious home cooking more than makes up for any gardening "mistakes"; besides, the kids enjoyed the activity immensely.
We went to a local farmer's market today and bought fruits and vegetables. The plan is to prepare them up and pack them in a cooler for our day trip down to San Francisco on Saturday. Fisherman's Wharf, the Cable Cars, and the Golden Gate Bridge are a few of the things we would like to see. Earthquakes are the main thing we do not want to see...
Yesterday evening we went to watch Kelsie perform in a barrel race. She did quite well, although one of her practise runs was almost ten seconds better than the official ride. Today, she started a webpage with her horse and pets as the focus, and there is a video of her at the barrel racing event. I would encourage you to take a look at it: http://canyonspainteddevil.shutterfly.com/
She is well on her way to becoming a great rider.
