From Compost to Soup

This spring I got some ripe compost from Paul and Reesha.  After a few weeks I noticed some plants I didn't remember planting growing. It took me a while to realize that it was growing out of the compost that was mixed in. Two squashes grew.  I covered them with knee high panty hose.  This kept the squash bugs out. One made it, one went to the bugs. This one grew on the fence so it was a bit out of the bugs range, but I did have to chase a few out of the covering every once and a while. It was worth getting a healthy butternut squash to share with my friends.

I wanted to make Butternut Squash soup, so I had to cut it.

Seed it, and bake it.

I baked it for an hour on 400 degrees.

 The next steps weren't too glamorous.  But I scooped out the insides, put them into my Ninja Prep Master and added a cup and a half of Veggie Stock. Some garlic powder, salt, pepper and ginger.

I then invited Paul and Reesha over to enjoy the veggies of their compost. I added a piece of basil from the backyard.  Yum!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.

It's been long for long enough!

 

Cave of the Mounds

When

When Andy and I were in Wisconsin we saw a pamphlet for a Cave.  It wasn't too far off the between path, so we decided to check it out.  We were glad we did, if only to take a break from the heat! It was 50 degrees down int eh cave.  Nice an cool.  And it was pretty sweet too. Lots of photo ops, handrails and lights!  The best part was when we had to squeeze through "The Narrows" we were in a small tunnel of stalactites.  It was fun. Then on to Illinois. 

Abadaba Honeymoon

 

Monday after the wedding we went to Glacier National Park.  We saw Mountain Goats, Big Horn Sheep, Ground Squirrels and even a Marmot!

Tuesday we started out drive.  We went to Billings.  Wednesday we started out  big road trip back.  First stop on Wednesday: Salem Sue.

 

North Dakota Also had Vast Sunflower fields

 

Then on the other side of the state we saw The World's Largest Buffallo!

 

I would say all in all, it was a pretty great day. A Lot of driving, but lots of fun for this married couple!

Married

Hail Storm!

I am home in Montana for my wedding.  We got inside just before a hail storm hit.  It was pretty fun to watch all the hail hit and bounce off the roof and the yard!
