I am not looking forward to daylight saving’s time ending. My vitamin D levels drop just thinking about it. The consolation is our central California weather - we’re still in the mid to high 70's

The boy’s have spent a few warm afternoons helping Daddy at the walnut huller. Feeling like the men when they are done and appreciated.

Friday we spent on a field trip along the river studying the riparian life. A fine affirmation for a Mamma who see’s info being retained from what we have studied and reissued back in an answer.

                       We have to touch what?

We had a great Sunday dinner. I made French dip in the crockpot that turned out so yummy.

2lb. beef top round roast, trimmed

3 cups water

1 cup lite soy sauce

1 tsp. dried rosemary

1 tsp. dried thyme

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 bay leaf

3 whole peppercorns

Place into crockpot. Cook on high 5-6 hours.

Take out meat and pull apart. Strain juice for dipping.

I served them on whole wheat french roles with melted monterey jack cheese.

Grapes and an avocado citrus salad for sides.

So good!
