So Holly and Mitch are in St. George for the weekend and I am dog sitting their two miniature American Eskimos. Jake and Cezar. It is the first time I have been alone all night in a house. I wouldn't be doing this unless I knew Jake. Jake will kill anything that intrudes into the house. He is a very protective dog and I have no problem with him protecting me. Not to mention Mitch showed me how to use his gun, so I feel pretty safe.
So far I got here from work early. It's been raining all afternoon. I took a lovely shower and left the boys outside for fifteen minutes. Then I made tomato soup while they ate their dinner, and now we are enjoying some tv. It is truly interesting so far. They are cute monkeys. This morning Cezar cuddled, and now Jake is desperate for attention. Now we will have a fun night and tomorrow we are going to have more fun.

Flavors of Fall
What a great season we are coming to! Everything about Fall is so wonderful. The crisp smell, the canning, the longer nights, the fresh local food, the recipes, and PEACHES!!! Oh how I adore peaches :) they are an absolute favorite of mine. Last year I really developed a taste for them and my own mother is trying to bridle my crave. Aren't mothers supposed to rejoice when their child wants to pig out on healthy food rather then processed junk? That's what I thought! But no! Sheesh!
So last week my wonderful mummy bought two boxes of peaches from a stand she found last year. They have the BEST peaches EVER! The variety is called Coral Star and they are positively massive and delicious. Usually large fruits or vegetables lose flavor when they get large, but not these beauties. One peach is bigger than my hand (granted I have itty bitty hands, but still)!
I ate three peaches yesterday and had Mom bring me one for lunch today. I wanted two for lunch, but she said no to that. Ah well! Since today is Labor Day the banks a closed. That bugged me a little. I wanted to cash my check, but I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow. So I asked my mum if she would give me a "peach loan" until tomorrow. I bought my own box of peaches!! Yay me! And yes, I can eat that many. Holly said that it would gives me the squirts, and so I told her at least then I would know my body isn't backed up ^^
Oh Fall is a delightful season, but so a the other seasons. I love all four of them. I am so grateful to live in Utah where I get hot summers and cold winters. I get snow, and I get sunburns. Utah is so unpredictable that I love it! Since I love every season I get to be even happier all the time. My momma says that people who only like one season aren't nearly as happy as they are satisfied with only 1/4 of the year. I think she's right. We should all learn to love and appreciate the seasons and what they bring.
