What happened to September?

Urgh.  School started, that's what happened!  Holy cow, but we get busy this time of year.  I'm hoping to get some posts up about the family soon, but in the meantime, we have all been obsessed with the tUnE-yArDs and wanted to share.  James and I saw them at the Bonnaroo Festival earlier this summer and they were pretty darn cool (they played live music during a Buster Keaton Film Festival!)

Gangsta

Merrill Garbus IS the bOmB!!  (I'm not sure I can get away with that kind of lingo. Oh well.)



Things we have been doing for the past month:

Hiking Trips:
Cumberland Falls - saw the double rainbow, hiked Eagle Falls Trail
Shakertown - hiked Anderson Trail
Shakertown - hiked Meadow View Trail 

Cultural Stuff:
Spirit Walk and Heirloom Dinner at Shakertown (we only live three miles from Shakertown, so yeah, we go there a LOT!)
150th Anniversary of the Perryville Battlefield (saw the re-enactment of the Battle for Webster Hill)

School Stuff:
Volunteered at the Cake Walk and did Face Painting for the kids' school's annual Fall Festival
Caileigh and James went on an overnight field trip to Pine Mountain Settlement School

Home Stuff:
James canned a MILLION tons of tomatoes.  Jars! Pots! Pans! Squishy Tomato Innards! EVERYWHERE!
Bees, chickens and garden are all doing well!

It's also Vegan MoFo this month, and Isa just posted a new Vegan Chopped! Challenge, so you know I'll be getting on that this weekend!  See you soon!
