Saute with some olive oil, onions and garlic...mmmm. It's even toddler approved.

Swiss Chard
Just look at this 'Bright Lights' Swiss Chard. It's growing like crazy right now.

It's about time.
Rain here today - yipee! We need it. And I finally get to use my rain gauge I bought a good month or more ago. Kinda chilly too, gonna have to watch those tomatoes I put out last weekend.

We had solar screens installed on the house Monday.
They look good, though it's really dark in here with the clouds. I know that's the point, but it's hard to get used to.
On the other hand, the baby has slept a little later the past couple of mornings. Can't complain about that.

This was my new recipe the other day:
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. It actually turned out a little too sweet. I think it was particularly mild rhubarb. Still pretty good though.
The best rhubarb recipe is the Strawberry Rhubarb pie that Craig makes occasionally from The Best Recipe. Sooooo good. And I can't recommend that cookbook enough.

Busy Big I
Big I is 7 months old today and he's getting to be a big and very busy boy. He did all sorts of stuff this weekend.
On Friday, Craig upgraded to satellite tv. (To get more '"HD gloriousness" or something. Whatever.) Big I helped the installation guy and Daddy get everything put in.
Then he and Daddy spent way too much time getting all the settings and such right.
He loves the Beginner's Bible his Uncle Andy gave him for his baptism. Something about the nice colorful pictures I guess. He sat and let me read to him for quite a while.
Just a funny moment after church this morning. He and Craig worked out their own way to keep warm.
He and Brisco are good buddies too. We're lucky to have such good, kid-friendly dogs. (Actually, it's not luck. I made sure to never give them the choice to be otherwise.) Notice the look of quiet wariness in Brisco's eye, though. He may be tolerant, but he's not stupid. Good dog.

And on a completely unrelated note: Don't my stuffed peppers look cheerful and yummy? I just had to take a picture. They tasted good too.
