Our First Snow of the Season

Yup, the much awaited (by the children) snow came today. Last week I saw it was going to be on Christmas Day. However, as the week progresses, it went to Christmas night, then finally the day after. It did not start until one in the afternoon today.

I'm not really sure much we got yet, but our children are very excited about it. They can finally go down on our little hill in the backyard. I will be spending some time outside with them tomorrow.

The best part is, from now on, the day will get longer everyday. I can't wait for spring and planting time again.

Cold Frame

DH is thinking about making a cold frame in front of our house (well half of the front). I'm not really sure if he will be able to make one but he planning on it. Yes, it is only a plan right now.

However, already have four pieces of sliding glass doors for the front of it. I wish I can give him some of my enthusiasm when making things. I can only push just the right amount towards him. If I push too much, he will give up very easy. If I don't push at all, he will think I am not interested in making it, and he will drop the whole thing.

My father will try to do anything and never give up until he is done. I kept reminding DH to buy him a ticket and let him stay for a month to help him with things. However, the plane ticket is very expensive these days. Will DH able to do it? I guess we will see.

The Harvest

Here are what I harvested last week. Some of the carrots are being eaten by something. This ones are much better than last year. DH tilled the soil well this year and my carrots turned out good. I still have 1 or 2 that are oddly shaped. That is what happened when they touch some rocks.


Here are the squash/pumpkins that I was talking about. I know 2 or 3 pieces are acorn squash. I'm not sure what the others are.


And below is what I use some of the carrots above. Sweet and sour fish. I did not have any bell peppers in my garden this year, so, there is no pepper with this recipe. This picture can be also found in my cooking blog. This is it, for the 2010 season. I hope you all have a great winter and free from cold and flu.
