That's no Deer

 We worked in the garden all week, it's that time of year. We got it all weeded out and tilled up, fertilizer down. All we needed was a little rain and we would be all set. What we got was two inches of rain in about an hour, along with some hail and wind. So all the gardens washed out, we will have to wait and see if the beans washed out or not.

We left out the next morning to check the damage and got a bit of a surprise. We found tracks in the garden.

Looks like a bear wandered through the garden. Our guess is, he's plotting to return later and go all buffet on our vittles.

Looks like there's a good chance we will be dining on bear meat this winter? We're excited about our prospects. 

The rain may or may not have contributed to the killing of one of our catfish. We don't know for sure. We were impressed with the size it grew to before it died. 

On the food front this week, we have a few updates. We got a request for buttermilk pies, and Lawman said he hadn't made one in a while, he better whip one up to practice before we go to giving them away.

Lucky for us, he has pie crust down pat.

No "crazy granny" store bought crust for us

It's a good thing he did. He remembered his recipe calls for waaaayyy too much sugar, and he always cuts the sugar down by half. This one was way too sweet.

Cupcake surprised Lawman with a new seasoning. He approves

It's funny, because Lawman surprised her with a new candle at the same time.

And we added to the decor with a moo cow.

Our kiwi bush is in full bloom. We will have kiwi coming out of our ears, if they all come in.

Cupcake requested a throwback this weekend. Chicken wings. 

We ended the week with heavy rain, several naps, and clear sinuses.
