Saturday doings

I can hardly wait. My Mom & my Aunt are expected to arrive in SLC either Sun or Monday. They are going to be here for a few days. We have been spiffing up the place somewhat for their visit. Walt & C spent the better part of the day working on a cover on the south side of the house (it covers the south window and the dog door). C also planted a Kousa Dogwood tree in the back yard. I cleaned inside and of course, supervised outside. hehehe

Fall Tasks

Fall has been keeping us busy this year. When checking on Connie's place, I found some rolls of sod that had been left behind after a construction project was completed. I snagged 5 rolls and C was able to fill in a spot in the yard that needed some help.

One of Walt's TO DO's is make sure all of the vehicles are ready for winter.. He checked the oil, the washer fluids and the antifreeze. Filled those that needed anything and in general just did what a lot of guys do - just look at the engine cause he thinks it's the manly thing to do. Besides, anymore, it's the only thing you can do - LOOK. Some of them are so complicated work on even if you can find what it is you need to fix.
We've been blessed with HUGE tomatoes in the past month. Only problem, we can't eat enough and this size don't last long just sitting around. I have made lots of sauce with some and we've had lots of tomato sandwiches. YUM. But I'm affraid with all the FREEZING temps we've had in the past couple of days, we are at the end of the toms. Till next year....
I can't believe that there are still sweet peas growing in the yard. They are one of my favorites as well as my Dad's and my sister-in-law Brenda's. If only our computer had scratch and sniff. They smell so good.
