Welcoming a New Member

We have a new member here in the Bauder household. His name is Alfie (short for Alfred) and he's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He's Ben's Christmas present. Alfie is 11 weeks old and soooo cute!

Macy is a little jealous because Ben doesn't play with her now, but that just means I can spend more time with her. After all, she's my dog. :)
By the way, in case I don't post before Christmas: MERRY CHRISTMAS

Love this one!

The Mother-Daughter-Sister-Cousin-Aunt-Niece-Friend-Female Banquet

Wow that's a long title! It's actually only the Mother-Daughter banquet; but as long as you're a female, you can come. This evening, the church is having the annual banquet. My best friend Haley and I are hosting a table. I'll take a bunch of pictures to show you!
         We got a pig!!! Well... 2 pigs! I'll have to take a picture of them too. This morning at the farm swap, we got 2 'practice' pigs. They are destined for the table. LOL! There names are Bacon and Pork Chop.
         Also, Grandpa and Grandma and my cousin, Nick, are spending Mother's Day with us. Yay!!!
        
      See Macy's new outfit!

 

She went into heat for the first time this month and was making messes everywhere so we bought a diaper for her!        Leigha

Macy Portraits

Here are some pictures I took of Macy recently.

Persimmon season

It's once again kaki (or in English it's persimmon) season! If you don't know what a kaki (or persimmon) is, click here. It's a link to Wikipedia's definition. We have 2 kinds, shibu-gaki and ama-gaki.

This is a shibu-gaki tree and fruit.

The trees don't look the same. Just the fruit looks different. The ama-gaki looks like the shibu-gaki except the bottom is flat.

In the last picture there is my White Shepherd, Macy. She just turned 1 on October 7th! Happy Birthday Macy!

 

Here is a picture of persimmons at step 4 of 6.

Step 1: Core and peel
Step 2: Air dry
Step 3: Dry with a dehydrater
Step 4: Air dry again
Step 5: Dehydrate again
Step 6: Flatten

YUMMY!            I'm going to spend some time with my family. Bye!
