goodbye for now

it has been awhile now since i have posted anything of significant value (i feel) & i am sorry for those few faithful people out there who actually read my posts. i have been doing my share of crafting, traveling, cooking, shopping, visiting trade/craft shows etc. but my heart just isn't in it to blog about it for now. i have come to the conclusion after returning from Argentina and having all these wonderful memories of things we saw that to share it here just feels like work. when the time comes that you are doing something because you feel you "should" and not because you really want to than it's time to move on.

for now i would rather be making something than sitting here writing about it (perhaps this is because my full time job involves staring at this same screen!).

so~~~~~~~~~
my pictures will tell you more than my words can for now & if you enjoy seeing what i'm up to; come visit me (aka WeBees) at flickr where i will continue to post my life experiences in photos.

~things could change here, if they do you will be the first to know.

until i post again, have a safe and happy end of 2008!

Pinch me, is this real?

yes we did!!!

we toasted Obama on Perito Moreno glacier on election day! we were one of 2 American couples there and everyone was excited about Obama!

we joked that we would not come home if Obama didn't win but we were so glad to hear of his victory and glad to be able to come home to this wonderful country full of freedom, opportunity and people who are open to change!

loofa ~harvest time

loofa harvest
Originally uploaded by WeBees

we haven't yet cut the vines but they've been frost bitten. we have harvested about 8 large loofa (between 16-24"). did you know you can eat them when they are small (under 8" or so)? i didn't realize it until i came across the info in another blog and i tried them cooked like zuccini, they are very good! we have been doing all the regular fall cleanup in the yard but i've also planted lettuce, nasturtium, arugula and cilantro for the colder season. we haven't quite had a hard freeze but i expect it will happen while we are away.

we depart tomorrow for Argentina for 10 days so i'll be away but back in mid Nov. with lots of photo's and excitement to share.
