Isabella's Daisy Troop went to the Wild Animal Park on Saturday.

Bates Nut Farm Pumpkin Patch

What a beautiful picture. Fortunately, I unwittingly captured a man in the background trying to shoplift a pumpkin under his shirt.

Casey's Trip to the Ozarks...

Me and Landon holding nature's bounty. I tried fried okra for the first time last night and loved it.

This is a picture of the type of snake I saw in the garden today. A southern copperhead. It was about 3 feet long. Yuck!

San Diego Zoo

Well, our camera's battery was winding down, so you'll just have to use your imagination to think how wonderful our trip was the the San Diego zoo. Lions, tigers and bears, OH My!!!

Isabella's Daisy Troop

I meant to post this sooner. This is Isabella's Daisy Troop.

Livin' Off the Land

The first fruits of my labor. (If I had to depend on gardening to feed the family, we'd starve in a matter of days.)

Scottie's Painting

Here's a painting I did for my friend Scottie. She's a big fan of Van Gogh. ;)

Me, my mom, and my Aunt Martha...
