EEEEEPPPS! I shouldn't have said anything!

My ENTIRE last blog post was wrong! My husband just said where's your keys? and he went off to do the emissions testing.

right before that, I had gone out into the garden and I saw this!

 Holy cow! Green bell peppers! On BOTH plants! and I thought I wasn't going to get any!

 My green onions are still happily growing...

 My garlic is still growing taller...

 BUT OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!  BEANS! BEANS! BEANS!

 AND MORE BEANS! big beans, little beans, beans, beans, beans!

 And more squash! at least these are little!

and they be still bloomin!

 Aren't they pretty though?

So I guess God has kept the bees busy in my garden this year!

I should probably go now and clean my house so I can play all day!
So go have fun!

Fall is here!

MOM CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!

My garden fence has BALLS!

Hee hee! remind you of some people's trucks?

 And my house plants look pitiful since I'm neglecting them because of the amount of fruit flies they are growing. They've been banned from the house till they figure out how to get rid of them themselves -I want nothing to do with them until then.

 Our yard is ready for the new grass. We planted rye on Saturday and the suspense!!! When will it come up? And does it have enough water? Will birds eat it all?

 The garden is starting to show the first few signs the growing season is starting to come to an end. It's started getting colder out at night. Which means crispy brown leaves. and no more squash! Maybe.

 AND....... I bought a yoga mat, yoga gloves, and yoga socks last night. Now to practice some yoga in style. (I bought the "Tree of life" style mat because it's green). And they only had black socks and gloves!

So now that you have been updated, I shall return to life. I have to go get my car's emissions tested today, and dust my house, clean the bathrooms, and get my house in some type of order before tomorrow. I start work again. this will be my last 4 day weekend for a while. We are going to go to the same 2 days off each week instead of 10 days on, 4 days off.

I have also decided that there will be little to no eating out. We will be eating all our food at home, so I need to see about making some meals to freeze so I don't have to cook every night.

I would like to only eat home cooked meals, but sometimes I just don't have the energy and time to with work. And it was coming to be more and more frequent, so NO MORE!!!!

I gotta get busy! So Have A Great Day!!!!

Videos of Disneyland

Here is the teacup ride!

The last night we were there, they hosted a Halloween Party and we were herded into a line to leave because we didn't have a wristband and couldn't get on any more rides. I was a bit disapointed I couldn't get in front of the castle to film it entirely, because the line wasn't going that way, but oh well. I also wanted to walk down mainstreet from the castle, but we had to detour through the edge of tomarrowland then down the side of Mainstreet so I said oh well. I guess we could have paid extra to stay, but who wants to go to a Halloween party? And we had been there 3 whole days!

2 Sealions!

another sealion- I don't know what he was doing, but he was there!

The waves off the Newport Beach Pier.

Tidepools

Waves crashing over rocks. It was so cool being there, but we were warned by some local bums leaving that the tide was coming in , so we didn't stay long. We got splattered  by water, otherwise it would have been fun to stay and sit a bit.

Another part of waves. I didn't catch the waves splattering that much, but all around, they would splatter so high, we would get splashed.

It was so much fun being in California, and I still think about just driving there so I can buy an icecream cone at Disneyland. I hope we can go when it's really hot like in the middle of summer next time so we can go into the water without freezing!

But for now, I'll just have to watch these videos and look at all my pictures!

Summer's over, and I had a vacation! Now I get to look foward to fall and the colors it brings. And snow in Flagstaff, and Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and.... Lot's of fun!

I have work today, and then I have to clean the office, then I have a four day weekened! and I get to see my nephews!

So I'll write more when I write more.
Have a great day!
Trisha.

I'm Back! (*PICTURE HEAVY*)

Disneyland: 1st day, rain until evening. I took this picture after it started stopping, so you can't see the sea of umbrellas, and drenched people wearing plastic.

Benefit: less than 5 minutes wait per ride.

 OOOOOH I envy the huge blooms on their marigolds!

 And the colors at California Adventure!

 Oh my gosh! This ride (that tower in the back) was terrifying!

 2 rides we didn't go on in California Adventure- 1 was closed, the other would take at least an hour till you got off...

 Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle

 California Adventure is still being built. this was how 1/2 the park looked. Will be almost just as full of rides as Disneyland soon it appears

 Disneyland Main street all decked out in fall decor

THE TEACUP RIDE! I COULDN'T GO ON THEM THE 1ST DAY. IT WAS CLOSED.

MMMMMMMMMM The penny arcade on main street also sells the world's best ice cream EVER. I'm not kidding! It's expensive, but we bought it twice. It is SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!

MMMMM! I WANT ONE NOW!!!

STAR TOURS: we went on twice. We went on a lot of rides twice!

Mike! Mike! Mike! the seagulls in the Finding Nemo Submarine ride would randomly call out what sounded like Mike! Mike! Mike! Not sure who Mike was, but My husband got a kick outta it!

Waiting in line.... for the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Those green walls were so cool! They were sculpted vines

and these trees were so interesting!

We went twice. once on each side. the first time on the rainy day- almost no waiting! second time see pictures above: long line, but worth it.

Says: Disney California Adventure

Oh my goodness! did you ever stay in the newly renovated Motel 6s? MODERN. Posh. Beautiful!

Check out that color! and wood floors!

I liked it all so much, I took many pictures

Off the Newport Pier

Someone caught a starfish. it was light purple. I am disappointed I didn't take a picture of the crab he caught. I didn't think of it till he threw it back in the ocean. I don't know if he ever caught fish...

Tide pool creatures: all these were so cool!

anemones

anemones and sea urchins

Look who joined us for lunch on the table right next to us at Seaworld! he was big!

He got really worried when the flock of pigeons on the ground took off in fright.

The dolphin/pilot whale show is so much different now. it's an acrobat people show now with about 3 times of dolphin sightings.

Here's the acrobats including the reddish "bird" one that flapped the entire time while doing splits and somersaults in the air. im press ive. not really. And the pink lady acted like a 5 year old delicate princess the entire time. But the dolphins were cool!

The beach by SeaWorld. Not Mission, I can't remember.

Seaweed. and gulls fighting over the best spot, and a shoe.

We came home to this. Naughty Dog! But we didn't punish him. It's normal for him, and we give up on how to stop him. At least it didn't go into the door, But the new paint!
NOTICE THE DENTED DOOR HANDLE HE BIT???

AND OH MY GOODNESS! WHO KNEW SQUASH COULD GET THAT BIG???

I guess I better start eating cause these are just about ripe!

My treasures I collected. Any ideas on what the metal design is? I found that on the beach!
2 shells, 7 sand dollars, 3 beach glass.

And I bought a "cat's eye", or the "foot" or "door closer" of a large snail-like creature who lives in spiral shells. they are not conch, but another kind. I don't remember. I just liked it cause of the the color, and the fact it's called CAT'S EYE.

Here is the toilet paper surprise my husband set up for me in the bathroom of the last hotel we stayed at. And the maid probably couldn't figure out how 2 people went through so much toilet paper!

The end. We went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Birtch Aquarium, SeaWorld, Coronado Island, and almost all the beaches between Anaheim and San Diego.

I'll probably write more after I recover a bit. I am tired, and sunburned, but exhilarated! It was so much fun, and totally worth it!

Have a good day!
