New Car

Bought a new (used) car for Jen today. She really wanted a Subaru Outback so we found one that should work great for her. It is perfect for the ND winters. It has heated seats, mirrors and heated windshield where the wipers rest so they don't freeze up. Very nice.

Glow-in-the-dark, carrots, pumpkins, family, and new skates.

Wanted to install a new ceiling light/fan into S's room and couldn't find a cool one. Then the light bulb went off and we bought a regular ceiling fan and some glow-in-the-dark paint and the rest is history.



It looks wicked cool when it spins.


Neighbor down the street gave us a bag of carrots from their garden this past week. Wow, I was shocked to see how stout they are. Clear indicator that our clay soil is very dense and impacts root crop morphology.


Getting close to Halloween so we carved our pumpkins last night. The kids really enjoyed getting all slimy. They did a great job. We have two faces, one ghost and one flying bat.



We had a great weekend. My parents came to visit Fargo for the 1st time to see the grandkids and our new house. It was nice to see them. The kids already miss their grandparents.



Grandma thought it was a good idea to get them an early Christmas present. This is one present that they will use quite a bit this winter. We have 3 outdoor rinks within a couple blocks of our house in 3 different directions. Maybe Santa will bring hockey sticks.

Greenhouse Update

Not much news here this week. Jen and I made progress on the greenhouse. I hope to be planting this week and maybe covering by the weekend. It will be nice to have an extended gardening season next year.

Are the Neighbors Ready for This

We finally have Halloween ready. The neighbors are quite impressed and excited about Halloween. A couple of the neighborhood teenagers said that they would help me on Halloween. If you are around on Oct 31st stop in for a cookie and some warm cider. Be careful of zombies and vampires though. The hearse is also up and running if anyone wants a ride, in the front that is.


I had to make a new cemetery sign, the Junior Ave sign was left in WV.



Boo.


Only 22 more days until Halloween.
