Late Summer & Sitting Bull Falls

So - lots been going on here...what with work and gardening and keeping up with cooking. We've squeezed in a little crafting - Jennifer knitting and Steve & Jennifer taking a tin smithing class at the university. We promise photos of those things sometime soon. It's a little harder now to blog regularly and share all we want to, but sometime soon we also plan on blogging about some of the food we've prepared recently. Even with our super busy schedule we are finding time to cook simple from scratch meals. Jennifer is planning on a zucchini lasagna on Friday...we are still getting so much zucchini from our garden. Last weekend we went back to Sitting Bull Falls/Spring. What a beautiful day we enjoyed! Here's some photos of the day:
