Visit from uncle matt!


Ricotta


Our first mozerella


Homemade butter!


the kids dressed in titus' vests


a few snapshots!

picasa isn't letting me upload easily so i am going through the backdoor which takes forever! so here are just a few photos from this week!
we made lots of bread!
esme went on her first hunting trip with josh and jack....she kept asking 'ok...where r the deer?"
and clay came down to lay out the back porch! hurray! this is the last bit of the house and then we r truly finished! it is going to look amazing!



pyracantha berries!

each time titus ate one of these i would worry he was going to get sick from a dreaded red berry of the woods...until i learned that they are quite edible!
and full of vitamin c!
so after they served well as Christmas decorations, esme and i divided them up from their green parts and just had the berries....
sadly i decided they would make a great jam so i cooked them down without realizing one must take out the seeds first...(think making muscadine jam with all the bits of seed in there...ick)
but before i ruined them we ate quite a few! 
also i thought how fun to make our own feed for the sheep or birds...this would be a treat in there...they both LOVE the berries!

anywho...next time i will save them from my jam making =)
