Desktop Background 1

Lately, we have combined computers and are sharing my computer tower with the rest of the junk that attached to the family computer (including the rather large flat screen monitor). Since this is now a shared computer, SOMEONE didn't like the desktop background that I already had so I made a new one! We will be sharing this computer setup for about 4 weeks so I joked that I would change the background every week... and so here is week one.

As you can see, it's Petey yet again, but if you look closely you can see that he is thinking something...

Highly Successful Tomato Harvest

I intended to grow a 'salsa garden' this summer, with tomatoes, peppers, onions and a few herbs that, together, would produce salsa... but I planted the tomatoes and peppers too late, the onions got washed away and I left my herbs unwatered for one day too long and they were gonners. This tomato is from a store bought plant and one of about 6 tomatoes that I eventually picked.

In Virgina... near a Cracker Barrel

Nice View

The apartment overlooks this little swampy field.

It's Still Autum

Even if it's not in New England.

Filled Up Car

Well, you can't really tell, but my car was STUFFED with my boxes of essentials. We are headed to a furnished apartment for about a month until our new place is ready for us. Petey got his own seat for the 4.5 hour drive to New Jersey.

Here's a Tissue

At this point, the contents of the house are already in the moving van and gone. We decided to take some pictures in front of the house to cry over when we leave. (I used the 2 second timer, which is why I have the slightly crazed look on my face. I think)

Garden Snake

I found this little guy molting on our front steps. It looked wedged in the crack between the steps and the wall, but I guess it wasn't since it eventually escaped! When it moved, it make this crackling noise as it crawled out of its skin!!!

Adam's Room

...packed and ready to go:


now sad and empty:

Improvised Bed

Petey, hanging out on the dining room table.

Flags

This was taken in April on tax day. It was a tea party. I walked around the crowd three times (at least) trying to take pictures.

Future Apple Pie

New England apple picking. We go to this orchard every year to get a big bag of apples which end up as applesauce and sometimes an apple pie!

The Apple Pickers

Mr. and Mrs. Apple Picker at their apple farm. AKA my parents with some freshly plucked McIntosh fruits. Mmmm.

Piglets!

At the Hopkinton State Fair! Above, they are awake and frolicking! Below, they are pooped and fall asleep! These piggies were about 8 inches long and very cute.

Cow Tails!

At the Hopkinton State Fair! It's like a rainbow of brown cow ends.
