Y go to Provo?
Some have asked why we went to Provo.
To drive down the canyon and check out the leaves.
To hike the Y.
To Bowl for just pennies.
To gorge at the creamery.
It was fun.

When life gives you pinewood, make a pinewood derby car
The Black Widow took 1st place over all. Daryl...I mean Beck, was happy.

I got a cemetery
I love cemeteries. I'm hoping to make it to NYC on Halloween to take the one day only, annual tour of that big cemetery that you can see from the train on the way to Coney Island. Until then, I'll (Beck and I actually) make my own in the front yard.

"I think it's my new PARTY dress!"
Macie got some dresses from the neighbors. She tried them on and gave us a little fashion show. Thanks for the dresses Archibalds.

Taming a Forest: Year Two
When I looked back at the pictures from last year, I thought this year was an improvement--except for that dyer's woad. I still want to kill you dead. Elsewhere in the yard we see little successes here and there. The wild flowers bloomed. The 25 cent mums bloomed. The dog wood grew, and more of them popped up. Five of the new baby pines are thriving. Sadly the aspens are struggling from neglect. And luckily only two baby pines died.
Not bad considering we don't have actual dirt or any horticulture know how.
A little better.
A little cosmos, I think.
Pure evil.
Next year, let's hope for no dyer's woad, lot's of wild flowers, bigger trees, money for some top soil, and of course more wood chips. Is it too early to mention that all I want for Christmas is a bunch of dirt and horse poop?

Macie Advice
A recent conversation with Macie: At breakfast everyone was complaining about something. Macie interrupted with, "Do you want my advice? Give up! Never try, never fail! Those are the words I live by."
It's a quote from "Robots", but the fact that she knew when to throw it into the conversation, and could say it with a straight face, is amazing and hilarious.

Auto Math
The other day we saw a Smart car and Macie chanted, "Smart car, smart car, tell me what 8+8 is." Beck thought it was so funny, he wrote it down.

A Macie t-shirt
Macie could work for a Japanese t-shirt maker. Tonight at dinner she declared, "Farts are the apple root of dalmation sicknesses."
Later she told a joke that went like this..."Dine-a-co. DC. Exclamation point." Followed by only her laughing very loud, for a long time.
She's been big on the exclamation points lately. She also likes to say, "Certainly not."
