Scenes around the Crosby home

We have had a BEAUTIFUL, rainy month! Everything is so green! We've gotten over 25 inches of rain so far in our 'monsoon season'. 
This was a double rainbow, it seemed right over our house .


Tami saw the same double rainbow and also took a picture!
 Dad wanted Cole to know that his horny toad is still alive and well. (Well, this might be the one Lisa caught, its hard to tell them apart!)

The week we were gone, I should've been taking care of our corn. It made me sad when I saw how over-ripe it all was!
Shucking corn is always more fun with lots of help!
Tami & I each got 20 quarts of corn to freeze. We worked all day!
Tami watches Davin until he goes to kindergarten 1/2 day. He had lots of fun helping with the corn and then going to feed the chickens on the 4-wheeler.
Then the green chilies came in. A friend brings them in from New Mexico and sells them. Dad brought home a 40# bag of the medium ones. I wasn't too happy about that, so Tami bought a bag of the mild ones and we mixed them. We sat in the garage and watched it rain. We each got 13 quart bags full.

Dad got ambitious and finished this little area of our walkway that was never finished because we ran out of pavers.
Also there was this little area that the sprinklers don't reach, so he put some square pavers there. Oh, and notice all the new railroad ties making the borders. Dad almost got a hernia carrying these things!! 
Football season has started!! GO COUGARS!
My flowers are looking pretty too.


We've got all these little 'fuzzy wazzies' 
or caterpillars all over. However, Tami has
even more at her house!
Well, there's a little taste of home for you all to enjoy!
