This is our first try at growing our own wheat.It dose take some time but I enjoyed every bit of it.I cut it with a hedge clipper and used an old leaf chipper to remove the husk from the wheat berry.I was able to harvest about 85 pounds and that will be a lot of bread this winter.

It never snows around here but a few weeks back we had our first snow fall that stuck in the 32 years we have lived here.The first pick is the Auburn court house that is one of the most beautiful around.The second is our persimmon tree that is just loaded this year and cookies are in the works as I speak.The third is the snow four days later by the side of our new green house and yes we had a few broken pipes those few days that kept me busy.The fourth is just a pic of a wonderful Christmas yard I just had to have.No our yard did not look this festive

This was such fun that night as my son Tim and I got to serve the Ladies at this wonderful restrant in down town Rocklin.Well it was at our church but by the pics you would never know it.The ladies did a wonderful job decorating each table and I just loved serving once again.I was asked a few times have you done this befor.Yes I said I studied in Canada between welding jobs {smile]

The corn patch

Well this first pick isent much of a corn patch but I wanted to show you the meddow and the flowers.Now back to the corn patch I have never grown corn this tall but I sure want to see if I can get those seeds for next years crop.Diana and I had a full loader bucket when it was all picked and we put up 21 qts of corn in the freezer .We are already planning our next patch for next year as we love the corn we put up in those cold winter days.

whats going on down south these days

Its been a while since I have done anything on this blog so I thought I would take some time to update things.I have always wanted a little green house so out came my hamer and nails and here is how it looks today.Sorry I look so mad I really am not just hanging on for dear life ho did I tell you I dont like high places.I orderded the 6mil plastic for the cover and I am about to install this as soon as it comes in so when I get this done I will post it.I will have water and electric installed or yes I will install it as I am doing this on a budget and so far I will have only 500 dollars in it when I am through.The little tractor hung the trusses and I am using all my scraps as I go I have even used some 100 year old lumber from my pearents old house.Wouldent this look good in your back yard Jaen well who knows maybe some day I can sneek up and build you one.

Danny Donnely

today was a mixed bag as we started our day at our friends studio in the beautiful town of Colfax Cal.Danny likes Andrews music so much he invited him up to cut a CD.As you can see he had is young daughter listen as she loves piano music and is learning how to play.I think Andrew will go far with his talents God has given him and to see this talented man mentor him is a blessing.Danny has played with people like Kenny Logins and another friend Larry Tagg who has played with Hall And Oats is also helping him and tonight George Tamayo wants to here his music as well.Now for the bad part of my day was a trip to the dentest and it did take away from a very exciting day.But I did have a very gental dentest so I am finaly feeling better so I will not complain can I
