"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12
In our backyard we have a compost pile and earlier this summer we put our Cantaloupe and Watermelon rinds in there. (We have a fence around compost pile so Ginger won't get it.) And the Cantaloupe seeds started growing up the fence! Just recently has it started producing fruit.
Here are some pictures of some fall flowers that took yesterday. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking pictures of them. Please let me know how you liked them.
A couple weeks ago we went over to a friends house with some other friends to make bread and butter. It was very fun. We made it with some whole wheat flour ( that we ground in our friends grinder).
This is what the dough looked like after it had risen. Then we rolled it out, rolled it up like a cinnamon roll, cut it in half, and put it in the pan to rise again.
This is what it looked like after it had risen a second time.
And here it is fresh out of the oven.........yum!
While the bread rose we made butter. We made it two different ways, by shaking cream in a jar and by putting cream in the mixer and beating it.
We beat it till it formed little yellow junks, then we strained all the butter milk out really good, and put it in a dish.
This butterfly came out of its chrysalis on August 8, and went in on July 29. It came out while we were gone so we didn't get to take it outside to dry it's wings.

This is when I received the Outstanding Fiber Arts Award for the Junior Division.
We had two come out of the chrysalis when our friends were watching them. The picture above is of the empty chrysalis.
