Nostalgic Barn and Silo
I took this photo when I was lucky enough to be with hubby, and he was driving. I had my camera too. There have been so many barns that have been torn down, when I wished I would have stopped to photograph them. I hope to take more photos.

Fancy Pen ~ Dehydrating
Here is another one of my fun pens. This one lights up in the bottom, and flashes different colors when I write. I can also turn of the light.
Hubby and I went to a choir concert last night. Two of the girls were in it. However, this morning they are grouchy. Anytime they have an event on a school night, it wears them out.
I'm not sure what's on today's agenda today, other than cleaning up the mess the kids left in the kitchen, and laundry.
Yesterday I filled the dehydrator with more green peppers and one tray of jalapeno peppers. I stocked up the dried ones and ground the cayenne to a powder. Next on the list is making my own onion powder. I'll have to wait until next season to make my garlic powder (unless I can find USA grown garlic here). I re-planted my remaining garlic.
I also made a batch of breakfast burrito filler, using up more green peppers and onions. I still have more in my garden basket too.
If the farmer is far enough away today, I will pull more garden plants, and weed the flower beds. And of course, I'll be writing also. Now that we have the goats dried up, I buy organic milk - $6.99/gallon. We'll need the extra cash if we want milk this winter.
