Fall is coming!

As the temperatures drop (it was only 95 today!), we are slowly coming out of our summer hibernation. I had a good chuckle the other day reading a magazine with an article about reorganizing your shed for the winter by moving the gardening stuff to the back and bringing the snow shoveling tools to the front. Well, in the alternate universe of the desert Southwest, we're packing away our swimsuits and busting out the trowels and seed catalogs. For the next several months, we'll live outside as much as we can, hike, visit the zoo, go for walks, and do our lessons while we lay in the grass. And on top of all that bliss, we'll enjoy as much homegrown buttercrunch lettuce as we want. So here are some recent pictures of us celebrating the end of our summer hibernation.

Look! They're sharing something!

Dirt, glorious dirt
