Fall 2011

Okay, after too many months of not getting back to the blog, here are some updates for you.  Life has been busy, as we are back to home improvement projects.  But, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

At the end of summer, I tried a few things like making freezer jelly,  canning and freezing peaches, and harvesting and drying herbs.

Here are the potatoes...

The harvest was much better than last year, and I am still learning so much and can improve so much more.

Vahid took on several small projects, like adding a bathroom fan to the upstairs main bathroom.

Soon, it was October, and we held the Birth of the Báb celebration at our home.  It was a very fun day.

Thanksgiving came, and I made my first peach pie from the peaches I froze at the end of summer.

When Christmas came, we had fun baking with our friends Leif, Hannah, Mojdeh, and Navvab.  (Mojdeh and Navvab pictured below).

For the first time ever, Vahid and I made a gingerbread house (from a kit, of course).  And the engineer got to strut his stuff... we had a very secure, leak-proof gingerbread house.

Much fun!!
