Meet Hoo:)


I finally got this picture from Matt's phone. When we went to Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, we spent the night at my parent's. They were so privledged to be the babysitters of this cute little thing. (It was good my Dad wasn't home or Hoo wouldn't have had a home! He LOVES cats! haha!) My grandparents were leaving to go out of town for the weekend and brought Hoo over. She (???) was abandoned by her mom and my Grandpa is such a softy and couldn't not feed her. I guess she is quite large in this picture compared to what she was but she was the smallest thing ever! And quite a wild little thing. She would meow like crazy when we but her in her "house" (cardboard box)....which had to be replaced with a larger deeper one because she figured out how to "magic out" of the box! Thus how she got the name Hoo.....short for Houdini:) Since I have not seen her for several weeks now, I'm sure she's a regular sized cat by now! Which is sad because I'm not so into cats...but kittens - ah how cute! Maybe Caitlyn should let us know how she's doing and how big she is by now....hint hint!!

I love brown!

And yellow...and orange....and red....and pretty fall colors.....and pretty quilts in these colors too!! And you do to:) Maybe you just don't know it yet. Go check it out. And no Carolyn...you aren't going to get it because I am - haha :P

Usually autumn follows summer...right?

What a wintery weekend! We got snow here in Boise...Crazy! Yeah - i'm sure most of you have already seen it (Labor Day in Wyoming!!) but it really doesn't snow here this early. A new record I believe. The weather guy said that it was going to freeze the other day, so I got busy pulling everything out of the garden. I'm a little overwhelmed with what to do with it all...and how many very large cucumbers I found out there! I'm not sure what to do with them all (suggestions???). I did try my hand at some jalapeno jelly today....but that only uses up so many....and as I picked over 50 of them off of two plants...!! It was my first try at canning ANYTHING (lame I know) so I hope the jars seal sometime:) So here's to hoping that it warms up again....I love fall! For now I guess I'll go turn my heat up!
