today I spent the day washing scrubbing cutting slicing and bagging CARROTS....did I forget making carrot relish?...thanks to the generosity of my Uncle Nick we came back last week end with a gunny sack of carrots...I seemed to be seeing orange (probably better than red)...and by day's end I was exhausted..no TV blogging flickar facebook nothing....by the time I tidied up my house hit the shower it was enough for 1 day so off to bed I went at 8:30p.m....that's what a GOOD day's work will do......oh well there's always tomorrow......:)

More Sat & Sun.......

Lyle and Dad working on a fence made from harrows to protect the new little trees Dad planted...he doesn't want the moose deer or elk to eat them this winter.....

the frost was certainly out this morning

decided that maybe one carrot this size was enough for us.......

Dad and Mom showing just one carrot...there were some really biggggggg ones....

for some reason some of these carrots seemed to grow together ie. this one has 5 stems and only 1 big carrot..mutants I think lol or crazy season perhaps.....
