Ah Nuts!

Some weeks ago, we discovered one of the trees in the back yard is a pecan tree! Cool yeah?
With leaves.
Without leaves.


We also met our neighbor. I call him Theodore. Sean calls him Teddy.

Our neighborhood crows also help pick the pecans for us. Super nice neighbors.

Who would have thought you could get so many nuts from a tree?? There is still a lot more too.

Halloween: Moab Style

Have you ever heard of Pumpin' Chuckin'? It is a festival that a company puts on for Halloween. Other businesses come and sell food, have activities, and advertise their goods.



The school I work at was one of the vendors, so we thought we would check it out. It was a cool and bright afternoon. Some were dressed up for the occasion.












There was definitely a fall and festive feel.





One of the highlights: a Wiener Dog Race!


Action shot.
Some coworkers watching the race.





 And of course, there really was pumpkin' chuckin'.
This was one of the cannons. It looked like something that was used in WW II. Quite epic. If the pumpkins didn't explode in that thing, they went pretty darn far!

A Kitchen with Storage is a Happy Kitchen

We looked long. A few months. Several weeks. Sean saw a huge need. I saw a potential need. We sought council. We asked permission. We came to a decision.

It came to our door. It was waiting for us when we got home. It was too heavy for me. I had to wait. Sean couldn't wait.

The rest is all pictures.
