Random Photos On a Thursday

We were out of town for a work conference last night, and we're out of our normal routine, so tonight I figured that I would post some recent photos with brief explanations.  Tricia was a birthday girl this past week.  She turned 58 years old on July 13th.  The boys came in and brought a Chocolate chocolate chip cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes.  It was delicious.  We took her out to a local Mexican food restaurant, and we ate and enjoyed one another's company.

The neighbors across the street have some beautiful horses on their property with a white fence and red barns.  We walk over from time to time and visit the horses and pet them.  In the early evening last month, I captured the full moon rising.

We've harvested quite a few butternut squash this year.  We like to roast them in the oven and eat them as a side dish.  They're so sweet!  We also like to make a butternut squash soup.  It's a little hot for soup right now, though.

We are getting ready to extract honey this weekend on Saturday.  You can see Tricia and I in our bee suits in the photo below.  The four hives we'll be harvesting honey from are in the background.

This will be our first time since we've been beekeeping, and we're excited.  We haven't purchased a honey extractor yet, so we'll be using a friend's this time.  Tricia did purchase 5 food grade 5 gallon buckets to put the honey in.  Can't wait to get this done!  We'll show you the process at some point next week.
