Stayin’ Busy

Summer’s here are hot.

So rather than sitting around and letting the heat drive her crazy, Cayla has taken on a few projects to help distract from the heat.

The plus side of the heat and a bone-dry climate is being able to dehydrate things. So Cayla and her Kurdish friend spent several hours one day setting okra, tomatoes and peppers out on our front porch and in practically no time at all they were moisture-free and the result was delicious!

Can you tell what was dehydrated in the photo below?

Cayla also decided to add a little pizzaz to our house by painting stenciled designs on our bathroom and bedroom walls:

Isn’t she great? Her doing stuff like this makes our house feel so much more homey than it would otherwise.
