This is what I picked from my garden L to R  watermelon radish, carrot, beet, onion, green bean, kohlrabi, tomato, peas, raspberries with a  lemon cucumber.

This is the fruit of our labor.

 Our garden.  I am holding beets, carrots and peas.   You can see corn, onions, chard, brussel sprouts and raspberries.  We have radish, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, cauliflower, honeydew, cantaloupe, peppers, kale, celery. green beans, 6 strawberry plants. 2 peach trees, baby apple trees and a baby pear tree.  I had almost lost my confidence in knowing I really did know how to garden. however you need to start with good soil.  OH THE WEEDS!

This blog site was made 2 years ago by Sierra (child number 4).  This is my very first posting by strong FORCE.  You may notice my hair has gotten longer and changed color. IMAGINE THAT!

We now live in Grand View Idaho.

Harvesting the Mulberry Tree

My first mulberry cobbler/pie

 Mt. Rushmore.  It took 14 years, 1 million dollars and 400 workers mostly local ranchers and farmers to complete Mt. Rushmore.  The wages were $.40 to $1.00 an hour.  This was great depression time and men were grateful for work.  I bet at the time people were saying what a waste of  government money when things are so bad.  The shell rock is not natural.  It is the blast off rock.  To get to George Washingtons' nose, they had to blast off 30 ft of rock to hit granite.

We drove 2173 miles in 72 hours including a 12 hours in Idaho Falls Idaho

 Black Bear at Bear World.  See the 4 strands of electric fence.  They are next to elk.  To keep bears in they have electric fence through the cattle guards.  Could you image if the batteries went dead.

McCarty will be emailing more pictures. MORE TO COME...................

Alaska

 Alaska cruise was amazing and historically interesting. Thousands and thousands of islands and lighthouses. 

 

Got to go salmon fishing.  Each got 3.  

 on an Alaskan cruise a balcony room is a must to see the great views and majestic  glaciers.

Went on a dog sled ride. It was cool.  MUSH...     Dixie was lucky panning for Gold. Made bank.
