...but the food has been great!

In Between the Cries
It's been a couple of rough days at home. It seems we've gone back to her first months behavior, sort of colicy with 2 or 3 short naps 5-30 minutes long followed by some inconsolable crying fits. I tell myself this will pass, and I know that is true since she's already a lot better than she was at 1 and 2 months old.
The Goods
Yesterday I learned that The Cultivator's* garden has yeilded 73 cans of salsa, 3 quarts of chili, and now multiple jars of spaghetti sauce. The load in the 3-wheeler was from yesterday. The garden seems endless to me right now, and although it's wonderful it's a source of stress and arguements between us... but the food has been great! He found a birds nest in the high winds we were having yesterday. Finally 1 shitake mushroom from the plugs he planted yesterday. He sauted it with onions and venison for dinner, and other garden goods.
Here Comes the Sun
We were able to spend a few minutes outside yesterday, but it was pretty chilly... even when the sun was out. I love the sun glasses she wears, and although she hates when I put them on she seems releved once they are in place... and how about that adorable hat that Aunt Reenie knit for her!
I just love my little Lulu Button.

We're decided to go on the account for International Pirates Day!
Me Little Lass
Her deadlights are saying "fair winds me mama, it's time to walk the plank." She's not happy about being in the rocking chair while I type this.
Making Grub
We found this fine artisian loaf goes well with some fine grog. I made enough for 6 loafes, 1 pizza and 1 pan of Pecan Carmel Rolls begad!

Canning Grub
The Cultivator* has been making and canning salsa for a week on and off. I kept saying that I wanted to learn... so the Cap'n in lead all hands were on deck with a catchy chanty. Can now or Kiss the gunner's daughter later!
