It's a beautiful Autumn day

Well the weather is clear, and this is a great week! We watched Dean, our niece's dog, all weekend. He loves to visit and play with our dogs, but he sure misses Megan while she's gone. The girls get so jealous of each other while he's here- it's pretty funny. Within a few minutes Cara will growl and attack Sunny, because Sunny and Dean get along really well. It's kinda like a 'cat' fight, but with dogs!

Tomorrow I plan to grind a bunch of flour from garbanzo beans, rice and whatever else I can find. That's what it takes to make bread, cookies and such for wheat-free baking, and it's so much cheaper to grind it myself than buy the flour, plus it's fresher and tastes better. I'm also going to make liquid laundry detergent. I haven't done that before, so it should be interesting. It calls for Zote soap, borax and washing soda, and costs pennies on the dollar compared to store-bought detergent. So, we'll see how it goes.
