A cold Hawaiian fall morning. (okay, not really that cold, but it looks like it should be)

It really made me want to put on warm socks and make soup. Since I no longer own warm socks, I made soup. (corn and roasted red pepper. a favorite among mexican children. Apparently, not mine though.

What is that beautiful piece of yard sculpture? Oh it isn't art? maybe, but it also doubles as a catchment tank. All of our water comes from this baby. (except drinking water. I don't want parasites people.) It really has made our family "green". No rain? no dishes, shower, laundry, etc.... Aside from swampy smelling bath water, has been fine. except in droughts. buying city water is DANG expensive.





WHAT TO DO ON A NOT SO CHILLY RAINY MORNING??

Lyla Rose shall not be left out. of ANYTHING if possible
